During one of the lessons on the Sabbath, I made mention that Jesus as not born on Dec 25th, but more likely on Nissan 1, which corresponds to the end of March/first of April. As a result, the class wanted to know why I said this. In that vain, we are going to embark on a study of the origins of the common US holidays and then a contrast study on the "Holy Days" called out in the Feasts of the Lord.
In this first episode, I go through the "Christmas Story" found in scripture and look at what it says - and doesn't say, distinguishing between cultural traditions and biblical record. Additionaly, I cover things not normally recognized in the scriptures and their significance to the Gosple woven throughout it all.
This series will kick back off in January. Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year! See you again in 2026 - Lord Willing!
