Why a Saviour?

December 29, 2023
Dr. John Neufeld

We can spend so much time focusing on Jesus’ Bethlehem arrival, we forget to ask, “Why did He come?” Most people approach Christmas as a “time for children,” a celebration of generosity, a season of charity or family get togethers. These are accepted expectations of Christmas. Still, if we want to understand the “Why?” of Christmas, it’s best to ask the One who was sent. As Dr. John teaches on the purpose of Jesus’ birth, we find that Christmas is not less, but more.

    Why Shepherds?

    Shepherds were the first to hear of Jesus' birth and the first to gather around the manger. Did the angles go to the shepherds first simply because they were available at night? Clearly there was a reason why Jesus' Father chose shepherds as the first witnesses of God's nativity. Today Dr. John explains the significance of the shepherd witness. There is more here than coincidence.

    Why Magi?

    Our understanding of the Christmas story has been shaped by children portraying Jesus’ birth in plays, dressed in their father's bathrobe and wearing cardboard crowns. So, our imagination needs correction from the Scriptures. Today Dr. John speaks of the Magi, often spoken of as the Three Wise Men. Beyond having some of our misconceptions clarified, we learn that the reach of God is global and there is a hunger in our world for God's salvation.
