See the Beauty of the Birth of Jesus (Christophanies 5 of 7)

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 269

Jesus is the focus and foundation of the entire storyline of Scripture. We have called these glimpses of Jesus (specifically in the Old Testament) “Christophanies.”

In this episode, we examine the birth of Jesus and look at two aspects of how the incarnation declares the wonder of the Gospel.

This special Christophany series is in partnership with Ellerslie’s Daily Thunder Podcast. In Daily Thunder, Nathan is teaching through a series called The Storyline of Scripture and then dives even deeper on this podcast to show one of his favorite Christophanies from that part of God’s Word.

Show Notes / Additional Resources

  • Luke 2:7-8, 10-12 –And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the guest room. In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. … But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people. For today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. “And this will be the sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
  • Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
  • 1 Peter 1:19 – [You were redeemed] with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
