Every December, people around the world celebrate what they call “the Christmas story.” Yet the real account of Christ’s birth, as recorded in Scripture, is far more beautiful and precise than the traditions that have accumulated over time. Understanding the truth about Jesus’ birth shows not only the humility of his arrival but also the greatness of God’s plan of …
