Matouš 2:11

Reflections on the events of Good Friday told by characters from the nativity stories. An imaginative exploration of the wonder of the nativity and the sacrifice of the crucifixion.

The Christmas story is so familiar to those young and old. The manger scenes, shepherds, and wise men are all a part of a narrative that has been retold for over two thousand years. It’s easy to think it has nothing new to teach us. Yet, the word of God is living and active - it works in us in new ways every time we digest it. -Vertical Worship

The story of Christ's birth is central to our celebration of Christmas. This reading plan chronicles the humble beginnings of a Savior the world had been anticipating for centuries. This short collection of readings connects us to the arrival of Emmanuel, a God who is with us.

By sy geboorte het Jesus na mirre geruik; daarna lees ons weer by die kruisiging van mirre. Tussen krip en kruis en graf het Jesus na baie dinge geruik. As timmerman het Hy na hout geruik, by sy dissipels op die skuite het Hy na vis geruik. Jesus ruik na mirre en stof sal Jesus op ’n unieke aardse manier aan jou bekendstel.
