Advent 22 Why we Celebrate Christmas wk 3
Listen to this message
The first two individuals we investigated from the Scripture narrative who were greatly influenced by the coming of Jesus as Immanuel were Saul/Paul and John the Baptist.

They traveled far to Jerusalem to find this speical child, only to encounter King Herod who was disturbed and threatened by their news.
