Summary

Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, but he was never called a Bethlehemite. He was supposed to be called a Bethlehemite. Why wasn’t he? He was known as Jesus of Nazareth. In this podcast episode we explore why Jesus wanted to be identified with Nazareth instead of Bethlehem. Our understanding of this concept will help us to understand God more and what he can do in and through each of us.
