The scripture tells us and it came to pass. This is not a fairy tale that says

once upon a time but what the authors of the New Testament are declaring is this

actually happened in space and time.

And that's why it's so important as we've seen in years past that the cradle in which the

message is carried is real history.

With Christmas just over two weeks away,

even in a very secular society, Christmas just over two weeks away.

Even in a very secular society,

Christmas is all around us.

Yet it's filled with fanciful ideas in mythology,

movies that speak of the amorphous Christmas spirit, believing in yourself,

elves and Santa Claus.

And alongside this, you'll sometimes hear a mention of the birth of a baby.

But as you heard R.C. Sproll say, the incarnation,

the announcement of the arrival of the Messiah

actually happened, really, in space and time.

It's not myth, it's real history.

Thanks for joining us for this Saturday edition of Renewing Her Mind.

I'm your host, Nathan W Bingham.

Each Saturday in December, you're hearing messages from R.C. Sprawl about this remarkable

historical moment, the first Christmas, when the word became flesh in the incarnation. You also have the opportunity

to request a new Advent Devotional based on Dr Sproll's teaching titled The Advent of Glory.
