The Christmas story in the Bible is a beautiful account of the birth of the Messiah, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He was born in obscurity in a little town named "Bethlehem," a Hebrew term that means "house of bread." And how ironic, for this man was the Bread of Life, and all who come to Him will never hunger and will never thirst (John 6:35). That is why the story of Christmas, the birth of the Messiah, is so important. Since Jesus is the reason for the season, let us make sure we understand completely who He is. For who Christ is to us determines who we are both in this world and in eternity.
