18 | The Shepherd of All Shepherds

18 | The Shepherd of All Shepherds

17 | The Nativity

17 | The Nativity

The Gospels (rightfully) give much more attention to Jesus' death than to His birth (chapters compared to verses). What happened in Bethlehem was the beginning of Jesus' mission and not the climax of it. But it was still one of the great events in human history. God became one of us!

In Mary's "Magnificat," she said, "From now on all generations will call me blessed" (Luke 1:48). All have—except her own.

12 | Down, Down, Down

12 | Down, Down, Down

The portrayal of Christ's condescension in Philippians 2:5-11 might be compared to a grand spiral staircase in a lavish estate. Christ stepped down, down, and further down in order to save us from our sins.

10 | Your Family History

10 | Your Family History

The genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1 isn't just some boring list of personal details that Matthew came across in his research and decided to include as space-filler. It is jam-packed with significance.

6 | The Only Right Reaction

6 | The Only Right Reaction

We all react to Jesus in one of two ways. These were the two ways people reacted to Jesus at His birth and throughout His life. And they're still the ways people react to Him today.

5 | He Is Our Peace

What does the Bible mean when it says, "He is our peace"? And how does the peace of God "guard us" (Phil 4:7)?

3 | Flesh & Blood

3 | Flesh & Blood

We don't normally think of Hebrews 2 as a Christmas text. However, that passage contains doctrinal insights into the purpose of the incarnation that in some ways are unsurpassed elsewhere in the Scriptures. It's a glorious text!
