So I want you to turn to Matthew Chapter 1 and I'm going to preach a message that came to me in my just my prayer time.

I had this thought,

what's so amazing about Christmas.

I just had the thought, it just came in my mind,

you know, what's so amazing about Christmas? And immediately the answer was

there and I'll tell you in a moment what the answer is for me and it would probably

be the same for you but you might not express it in the

same wording that I'm using. I asked several people and they gave me great answers

just no one used the same words that I was thinking.

But this is the words, the answer that I'm going to give you in a moment

is actually the most amazing fact in the world to me.

What I'm going to tell you when I answer the question,

what's so amazing about Christmas,

to me and maybe to you as well, it's the most amazing fact in the world.

It's the most amazing fact ever. If you think about it, the whole world marks time as according to Christmas, in essence, the first Christmas.

The whole world refers to, even our history books, even when you go to other countries,

they will talk about before Christ, so many years before Christ,

and so many years AD, AD does not mean after death.

Many people think it does, but there would be a 33 and a half year gap in the calendar.

I was actually explaining that to Debbie one time. Remember, Debbie's not go with numbers.

And I said, you know, it's not, she said, A.D. stands for after death.

I said, no sugar, there'd be a 33 and a half year gap in the calendar if that's true.
