Pastor Philip Miller

The Old Testament, Part 1

January 1, 2012
Imagine the earth as a grand stage. Here, a great drama is being played out. But this drama is real. Long ago, mankind sinned, separating us from our Creator. God was not content letting His finest creation die without hope, so He set in motion a plan to redeem those that believe in the value of a great sacrifice: this sacrifice is that of Jesus on the cross.

You can visit the place where Jesus was born in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. It is one of the oldest churches in the world. A silver star marks the traditional spot where Mary gave birth, and a nearby place marks the location of the cattle feeding trough where the infant Jesus was laid. Of course, there was no church 2,000 years ago, only a rude cave used for housing animals. Indeed, the King of Kings was not born into luxury.
