His birth would change the world. He would bring forth a revolution of new life and be a shining light in a world filled with darkness. His nativity would be the greatest gift God has ever given.

However, this season let us remember that one of them comes to give us what we think we want; the other came to give us what we need.

The story of Christ’s birth has been passed down from generation to generation. As time has passed, in efforts to relay the story to others, man has perhaps taken some creative license with the events of the Nativity. Though we are unsure of many elements surrounding Jesus’ birth, we do know this: Two thousand years ago, a Savior was born of a virgin in the town of Bethlehem.
