Although the goodness of creation was marred by human rebellion, through the new gift of Christ’s life and death all things will be made perfect.

The arrival of the wise men is a familiar part of the Christmas story, but much of what is commonly regarded about their identity and arrival has been influenced by legend and tradition.

Into the humiliation of a people suffering the consequences of their sin, the Prophet Micah spoke a message of hope. Alistair Begg explains that God's promise would be fulfilled through a King born in insignificant circumstances, but destined for an everlasting reign—Christ, the Lord. He is our eternal King, and He, Himself, is the peace with God that our sin requires. His coming is met with hostility and indifference from some, but those who bow before Him in humble faith find salvation.

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
