Nothing can stop God's plans from coming to fruition. When it came to Jesus' birth, God really wanted that to happen. It was His act of love to send His only Son just to be destined to die for your sins. Today, Pastor Dan will show you that when you look back at the prophecies about Jesus' birth, you can clearly see how God's plan did ultimately come to pass. This means there's a way to have eternal life through faith in Jesus. The real story behind Christmas is Jesus' birth, which started it all.

The real story behind Christmas is often lost in the hectic Christmas season. It's not reindeer or Christmas trees, and it's not even dinner around a warm table. It's the story of the birth of Jesus: when His earthly ministry began. Today, Pastor Dan's going to show you how prophecies from hundreds of years before pointed to Jesus' unique and miraculous birth. Everything in God's Word is accurate, and you can be sure when you read it that it's true. The real reason for Christmas is to remember Jesus' birth.

Jesus came to the earth with a plan. He came to the earth just as God willed it. What was that plan? It was to make a way for you to come directly to The Father and be forgiven of your sins. It was all made possible by Jesus. Today, Pastor Dan's going to show you that every part of Jesus' life gave glory back to God, and that included His birth. He was born of a virgin, fulfilling centuries-old prophecies. The day Jesus was born is the day you remember now when you celebrate Christmas. That's where it all started.

Even though you might celebrate Christmas every year, do you know the reason? Do you know where it all started? Today, Pastor Dan's going to show you that the very first Christmas was an act of love towards you. Jesus was sent to the earth, destined to live a perfect life and die as a sacrifice for your sins. The first step of Jesus' earthly life for your salvation was His miraculous birth. That day is what we celebrate on Christmas today. It mustn't be overlooked in all the hustle of the holiday season.

You can do anything you want in order to achieve or earn eternal life, but you won't find it without Jesus. Without Him, you can't find true peace for your soul. Today, Pastor Dan's going to show you where that peace is found. It's through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. He came to earth and died for you. His whole ministry started with His miraculous birth through His virgin mother. That day is why we celebrate Christmas. That's the true story behind all the hustle and bustle and celebration of Christmas today.

God became a man the day that He sent Jesus to the earth. Jesus was God in human form. He lived a perfect life as a man, so He could be the perfect sacrifice for your sins. Today, Pastor Dan's going to point you back to where it all started: the first Christmas. While it wasn't like we see it today, with the lights and wrapped gifts, it was important. It was miraculous. That's the true story behind Christmas. That's where it all started. And all of it came in God's perfect timing, according to His plan.

Jesus came to the earth for a reason. At the exact time God had planned, He sent Jesus to the world to be born of a virgin on the first Christmas night. That's the reason we celebrate Christmas. That's the true reason behind the lights, the presents, and the Christmas trees. Today, Pastor Dan will remind you that the first Christmas started the events of Jesus' life that would eventually lead to his sacrifice and resurrection. Jesus made a way for you to have eternal life by dying for your sins. In Him, you don't have to fear death or eternity. In Him, you're secure.

Through Jesus's resurrection, you have salvation. His controversial but perfectly lived life leading up to it all started on that first Christmas through the virgin birth. That's the miraculous event we celebrate at Christmas: the real reason for the season. Pastor Dan's going to remind you in today's message that it's a story of love. It's The Father's love for you that was so great, He sent His only Son to the earth to be a sacrifice for your sins so you could be forgiven. That first Christmas in Bethlehem started it all.
