The story of Jesus’ birth is known as the Nativity. Angels greeted shepherds, watching their flocks, and led them to the side of the infant King Jesus, who was resting in a feeding trough. The Nativity narrative presents the entire story of Jesus and the Bible as a whole. The birth of Christ fulfilled many Old Testament promises, and all these scriptures help us better understand the Messiah.
The birth of Christ was
- To reveal who God is
- To live a perfect life for us
- To fulfill the scriptures
- To atone for our sins and become our perfect sacrifice for sin
- To show us how we ought to live for God (Jesus is our Perfect Example)
During the Christmas season, we prayed that God would provide support to all the teachers and coordinators in India. The gospel needs to be shared with millions of Indians who are in the darkness of Idolatry. There is also a need to train many untrained poor pastors in India. We encourage you to give to this important cause and to make an impact on the country where the gospel can change and bring light to many lives.
Also, in December, God enabled our CCI team and me to share the gospel during different Christmas programs conducted during this month.
