Description:  Often overlooked and rarely examined are the people and the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. Every year the world at large fixates on Christ as a baby in a manger, but why was the Lord born in a stall made for animals? Why were Mary and Joseph chosen as Jesus’ parents? Why were shepherds and wise men from the east the first to lay eyes on the Lord? Nothing is left unanswered in the Bible from the very beginning; God faithfully fulfilling the promise of a Saviour and eventually a King over all the world!
