Iain's short talk from the special Christmas Sunday service

This morning, Vijay explores Joseph's experience of the Christmas story (Matt 1:18-24). He suggests that for Joseph, the miracle of the virgin birth pales in comparison to the real miracle of Christmas - that God would become human.

God's gift of himself is unconditional, but we can receive or reject it.
