The Nativity Story

In the world today, a lot of questions arise about Christmas. We want to know why Christ was born, if He really was born or even if His birth is the reason for Christmas. The only way to find the answers to these questions is to read the Word of God. People have made movies and written books to try and get a better understanding of the life of Christ and the truth about Christmas, but God only knows the truth and man can only try to understand.

“She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus because he will save his people from their sins." Matt. 1:21 (New International Version) A lot of people ask, why we celebrate the birth of Jesus. It says in The Bible that Jesus was going to be born and save us from our sins. As Jesus got older, you could see that the season that He was on earth was exactly that. If Jesus was not born then no one would make it to Heaven and God would have always been a mysterious Creator to us. Jesus died for our sins, we can at least set out a day to celebrate His coming.

Another question is about decorations. What do they signify? Most people just put up these decorations just for fun and to add some colorful feel to the season, some of these decorations also mean something and most people do not even know it. For example the star on top of your tree, why do you put it up there? The wise men, as you remember followed a star to the birthplace of Christ so by putting up that star, you are representing the sign that God gave us to follow Him.

In the Nativity story they spent some time following the journey of the wise men and what their mission was. The wise men had one thing on their mind and that was to see the Messiah and to worship Him, no matter what. Watching this movie really gives you better understanding of what it really means to be a follower of Christ. As a Christian it shows you how devoted you really should be and that God is the Almighty one.

The film teaches us of the true meaning of Christmas, that Christ came into this world to save us from our sin. It is the day where all of the angels would worship at their best and where God, in His great mercy, gave us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As
