Matthew 2:9

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

Jesus wird in Bethlehem geboren. Die Hirten kommen, um ihn zu sehen, und die Heiligen Drei Könige aus dem Osten folgen einem Stern zu Jesus.
