Deeper Meanings of the Christmas Story
I’ve always loved looking into the deeper meaning of things to try to learn and understand better. I love learning about the historical, geographical, and cultural context of events, especially scriptural ones, and looking at the deeper meanings of the Christmas story is no exception. That’s why I loved learning about some of the significance of some of the events surrounding the birth of Jesus in a video series from Pastor Rick Renner.
