The Story of Christmas

This sermon aims to debunk common misconceptions about the story of Jesus's birth found in the Bible. Pastor Will focuses on five specific points: first, Mary was already married to Joseph before she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Second, Joseph, despite the circumstances, opted for mercy over justice by choosing not to publicly expose Mary for her pregnancy. Third, the Bible does not specify the number of "wise men," so it is incorrect to assume there were three. Fourth, the wise men were not present at Jesus's birth, but rather, arrived sometime after Jesus's birth. Finally, the Bible does not specify the exact date of Jesus's birth. By emphasizing these details, he seeks to provide a more accurate and nuanced understanding of the story of Jesus's birth.
