Why the Nativity? | The Family-Friendly Christmas Story of the Birth of Jesus
Make watching "Why the Nativity?" a new holiday tradition! Every year, millions of people around the globe celebrate Christmas. But what does it all mean? Do we really understand the profound importance and authenticity of the birth of Jesus? Why the Virgin Mary? Why a carpenter named Joseph? Why are poor shepherds and wealthy kings clamoring to worship a Newborn King? And why are the Old Testament prophecies that predicted the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem so important to the Christmas story? Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, noted pastor, author, and theologian Dr. David Jeremiah answers some of the most thought-provoking questions surrounding the most pivotal moment in human history—the birth of Jesus Christ. Travel back in time and experience the sights and sounds of that first Christmas. You’ll have a front-row seat to the Nativity story as you witness the Old Testament prophets foretelling the birth of Jesus, Gabriel appearing to Mary, Joseph and Mary traveling the road to the crowded city of Bethlehem, angels appearing to shepherds, the brilliant star guiding the Wise Men from the East, and baby Jesus lying in a manger in a humble stable in Bethlehem. Why the Nativity? is a fascinating presentation of biblical history, with stunning visual dramatics that create an unforgettable journey through the wonders of Christmas!
