Joy to the world the Lord is come, let us come.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come.

Let Earth receive her king.

Let every heart prepare him rule and heaven and nature sing and heaven and nature sing and heaven and nature sing.

And heaven and heaven and heaven and nature sing. Welcome to a special episode of 30 minutes in the New Testament, 40 minutes in the Old Testament, and Theocast,

we did this last year where the three podcasts come together to do a Christmas special.

I don't think we talked about this. We didn't

advertise it. It's just a surprise in your feed and whichever feed that you happen to be listening to.

So I'm Daniel Emory Price. I'm joined by Chad Bird, Eric Soreson, Justin Purdue and John Moffitt.

Now that last year they would have been like, wait a minute, isn't this like a six guy thing?

I mean, isn't it isn't this like a three and three? but no Jimmy. Jimmy is working. We miss him. We love him. We do. We do. We do. So Jimmy here in spirit. He'll probably maybe he'll listen to it. You know.

Yeah, Jimmy's got the jokes man he brings in the

comic release we'll try and fill in where we can that's right yeah Jimmy brings in the

jokes that's right yeah so we didn't we didn't do a ton of a prep we didn't have like a text that we were going to go over or anything because we decided we just wanted to talk about Christmas and why Christmas is sort of maybe the beginning of this sort of promised scandal coming to

fruition, right?

The incarnation, I think when we, I think last time we talked about the implications of the of the incarnation and all

that that implies but really when you when you get down to the nitty gritty of it you're

talking about the fulfillment of a promise from God by his own

divine collusion within his Trinitarian self to get a world full of sinners off free.

That's what Christmas is about.

Christmas is about like the plan is now in full and full effect and God plans on giving good news to a bad world right that I

in myself am going to forgive all kinds of people that don't deserve forgiveness I'm going to forgive all kinds of people that don't deserve forgiveness.
