商品簡介
Secular observance of the Christmas season has become over-commercialized and at minimum does not focus properly on the significance of Christ's birth - the arrival of Immanuel! Sadly, even religious observance has at times become stale, with too much emphasis given to entertainment which results in artificial joy. In general, cultural mindset has missed the magnitude of Immanuel's coming; both secular and spiritual have overlooked the elegant hope and unfettered joy of the Savior's birth. Here we celebrate the Christmas season fittingly by exploring the numbers (and their meaning) found in the familiar Christmas accounts (Matthew 1-2, Luke 1-2). We gain understanding by reviewing the appearance of number four in accounts of the Savior's birth. Within this specialized topic, we avoid bland secular and trite religious observance of Christmas and instead center on the character of our Lord Jesus Christ. By the numbers, the birth accounts of Jesus proclaim the most joyful news ever given - the Savior has come to earth.
