If Jesus can't overrule you, you're not celebrating Christmas.

Dr. Tony Evans says denying the message of the child of Bethlehem is a recipe for turmoil.

The reason why we have a lot of the trouble we have in our world and our lives and our homes today is because the King has been rejected.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives

of Dr. Tony Evans.

As we approach Christmas Day, there's a lot to celebrate related to the season, and we don't

want you to miss any of it, the food, the fun, the family time, and especially

the point. Today, Dr. Evans takes us to Luke chapter two to reveal how the innkeeper, King Herod,

and even the religious leaders missed the Messiah for different reasons, and how easily we can

do the same. As we explore their stories, Dr. Evans

will challenge us to make real room for Christ this Christmas. Let's listen. If you pass by a

poor log cabin in Hotskinsville, Kentucky on February 12, 1809,

and you heard a baby crying,

little would you know that that would be the sound

of the 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.

Or if you passed by a farmhouse in Charlotte, North Carolina, on November the 7th, 19, and 18,

and heard the whimper of a child, little would you know that that would be the cry of the greatest evangelist of the 20th century, Billy Graham.

Or October 14th, 1890, the sounds of a baby in this poor area would be the sounds of a Dwight Eisenhower, a military genius, and the 34th president, or perhaps the cry of a

sharecropper's baby.

On May 13th, 1914, in Lafayette, Alabama, a world champion was born who would become known as Joe Lewis.

In other words, if you simply looked at where they were born and the cries that they made,

they would have been written off as insignificant as a baby.
