One time a missionary told me about a man in Brazil who was convinced that Jesus had been born in his country. He had read in the Bible that Christ was born in Bethlehem, and the only place he knew of with that name was a city at the mouth of the Amazon. Stifle your chuckle for a moment. I run across people all the time who believe distortions about the Christmas story almost a grievous.
There is no record of a boy with a drum being at the manger.
And the manger—it wasn’t a cute bed with straw sticking out; it is a place where animals eat.
Wisemen didn’t arrive on Christmas Eve or Day, and we don’t know there were three, or their precise ethnicity, or names.
Saddest of all, most people have no clear idea as to why Jesus born at all.
Mark down some dates. December 18-20 will be the Live Nativity at Jackson River Sport Complex.
It’s STTA for a better Christmas this year.
