The humble birth of Jesus Christ reveals a truth that, frankly, is shocking.
In fact, it’s as surprising today as it was in the day Mary gave birth to Jesus in a Bethlehem barn.
In this episode of Live the Bible, we take a special look at Christmas and its surprising truth. What truth? The pursuits of our lives and passions can easily get misplaced. Jesus shows us that the way up is down. The way to true greatness in the eyes of God is to be a servant to Him—and to others—just like Jesus was from the day He was born.
