The Christmas Story didn’t begin the night Jesus was born; it did not begin when the angels appeared to the shepherds announcing His birth; it did not begin when the angel appeared to Mary telling her that she would be the mother of the Promised Messiah. It did not start when the angel appeared to Joseph telling him about Mary and the coming Christ Child. It started in a garden of incomparable beauty, The Garden of Eden.

 It started because of deception; the deceptive lie presented by the serpent possessed by Satan.

     After Adam and Eve chose to believe the Lie, chose to disobey the Creator, The Creator addressed the serpent and then The Lord God told how He would send a Savior.
      Genesis 3:14 –15; Galatians 4:4

   And from that prophesy came these prophesies so we could recognized the Messiah, God Savior. 
     Isaiah 7:14 – Christ would be born of a virgin.

     Isaiah 9:6 - Unto us a child is born...
      Micah 5:2  -  Born in Bethlehem in Judea.       

   And the Christmas story keeps going until it runs into the Easter Story of Redemption. It is both an Earthly and Spiritual story. It is Supernatural. Redemptive. Life Changing right into Eternity. But like Eve in the beginning of this true story, we have a choice. We can choose where we will be spending Eternity. Will it be in agony and thirsty separation from the Lord in the Lake of Fire (Hell) or in the Redemptive ever giving Love that came that first Christmas Night when the Word became Flesh, in Heaven?

                 John 3:16             

The choice is yours.

You can read the events of the Christmas Story for yourself.
      Matthew chapters 1:18 -25;  2 :1-21     
      Luke 1:26 – 35 ;  2:1-20.
