Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress, and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station.

On today's edition of Pathway to Victory, that lecture on the road to Emmaus was not a dry theological discourse.

It means that Jesus of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New Testament.

And because of that, we can bank our life and our eternity on what he's promised to us.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

This Christmas season, you'll likely revisit the famous narrative of the birth of Christ in Luke 2.

But the Christmas story didn't begin in Bethlehem. It began thousands of years before Jesus was even born.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress looks at the birth and the life of Jesus through the lens of Old Testament prophecy.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks, David, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. It's December 12, just two weeks until Christmas.

And by now, I hope you've taken advantage of the special offer to receive your 2023 Pathway to Victory Daily Devotional.

If you get in touch with us right away, you'll have this beautiful leather bound volume in time for the new year.

I've written a chapter for every Monday through Friday in 2023 so that you can begin or end your day with encouragement from God's Word.

And a copy will be sent to your home when you include a special year in gift to support the ministry of Pathway to Victory.

Plus, because of the matching challenge, every gift received before December 31st will have twice the impact until we reach our goal of $525,000.

You might be able to give a generous gift of $100, $200, $500 or even more.

Whatever you give will automatically be matched by a group of friends and therefore doubled in its effectiveness.

We've made tremendous strides in 2022, expanding into places like Ukraine, Russia, and Israel.

And we've been seizing opportunities to bring this radio program to even more stations in America as well.

More information will come, but right now we have a special treat for you.

The church where I serve as Senior Pastor, First Baptist Dallas, is a singing church and would love for you to step inside the worship center right now and join us in giving praise through this wonderful Christmas favorite.
