Why was Jesus born? This may seem like a simple question, too familiar to ponder. But as you prepare for Christmas this year, take time to reflect on the deep meaning and purpose of Jesus's birth for your life, and for the whole world. This 5 day series was written by Scott Hoezee, and is an excerpt from the Words of Hope daily devotional.

In this fourth and final reading plan in the Infinitum Christmas Series, we progress from ‘Space for Awe’ (week 1) and ‘Liminal Space’ (week 2) and ‘Lectio Liminal’ (week 3) to ‘Awestruck & Awesome’, a consideration of the remainder of Luke’s Christmas story through the lenses of the Infinitum postures of surrender, generosity, and mission.

A myth is a traditional story or a widely held but false belief or idea. Was Jesus born on December 25? Were there three kings who visited Jesus? Did the shepherds and the wise men come together to worship Jesus in the manger as is often shown in nativity plays? In this five-day devotional, find answers to these questions and get to know the truth about Christmas.

This year and last year have felt chaotic, stressful, uncertain, but God (I love those two words!) is unchanging, faithful, and our source of peace. Christmas is a time of remembrance, to reflect on what our God really did when Jesus was born in a manger. Follow along as we meditate on Christmas, joy, peace, love, and hope this Advent season. -Matthew West

Our Creator loves all of His creatures, great and small. Humanity is the height of God’s creation on the earth, and we, therefore, share a special relationship with Him. Yet all kinds of birds and beasts make an appearance throughout the pages of Scripture. Each animal mentioned in the Bible shows you and me more about the Lord’s majestic creativity, as well as highlighting His compassion toward every living thing.

In 100 carefully selected passages from the Bible, you will discover who Jesus is and why he is so significant – even life-transforming. Through both Old and New Testament readings, you will discover why God sent Jesus, what Jesus taught, how he treated people, why he did miracles, the meaning of his death, the significance of his resurrection, and what the Bible says about his second coming.

The glory of God is something we have heard about but something we take for granted by virtue of its familiarity. This Christmas we hope that you will revisit this familiar yet poignant truth about God while allowing it to change some or all of your perspective.

For many people, the Christmas season is filled with cultural traditions that make it a memorable time of year. Yet, these traditions can sometimes distract from the biblical reasons for celebrating Christ’s birth, no matter the time of year. This 5-day study points to the ultimate meaning of the incarnation, as outlined in Scripture, and encourages Christians to worship the Savior who was born in Bethlehem.

The Christmas story is found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. An Angel visits Mary to tell her that she would give birth to the Son of God. Jesus is born in Bethlehem. The shepherds come to see him, and the Magi from the east follow a star to Jesus.

As Bible teacher Dr. R.C. Sproul observes, the Christmas story is so familiar to many that “the words just slip over us.” These profound Advent readings, taken from Sproul's sermons, delve into the details of the first Christmas and reflect on how they impact our lives now, combining scholarly detail with heartwarming application. Each day includes a prayer written by a well-known Bible teacher of our own day.
