In this episode Pastor Tony Cooperwood tells listeners that the Christmas story began long before Jesus' birth. He argues that the foundation for the Christmas story and the Christian story was laid way back in the Garden of Eden at the moment Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate the forbidden fruit. There God instituted His plan of salvation and reconciliation. So it was just a matter of time before God Himself would become a man for the purpose of dying in our place to pay our sin-debt in full and to restore us back to a right relationship with Himself.
