Selected Reading ~ Christmas

"The births of royalty today do not go unnoticed. The advance of media communication has made it possible for the entire earth to know within minutes the birth of a new prince or princess. Such was not the case in the first century. When Jesus was born, the record of that event was not published in any newspaper, trumpeted over the airwaves, or heralded across the internet. Secular historians paid no attention to it. Only two (Matthew and Luke) authentic accounts were produced, and they were not composed until at least fifty years after the actual birth. These narratives form an integral part of the New Testament. Upon them rests the traditional belief of the church in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ."
