Summary

One would expect a message entitled “Where It All Began” to be filmed in Bethlehem. However, in this message, Amir Tsarfati focuses instead on Nazareth, the town where Jesus grew up. Why Nazareth? Why did Jesus come at the time He did? And what was His game-changing message that was so necessary for the world to hear? In his teaching, “Where It All Began”, Amir answers these questions, even as he reminds us that salvation does not come from religion, but only through a personal, intimate relationship with the Messiah.

0:00.0	Shalom everyone, this is Amir Tsaufati and behind me the homes of the city of Nazareth today.
0:08.1	You can see quite a city, quite a packed place.
0:15.0	And this is where it all began,
0:17.0	and I know that quite a few of you are probably asking yourself,
0:20.0	why would Amir go all the way to Nazareth to talk about Christmas and the birth of Christ?
0:28.0	Well, first of all, let's remember that it is in Nazareth where most of Jesus's life took place.
0:36.4	We must remember that, okay?
0:38.9	But we also need to remember that there's a lot that did happen here. This is exactly why this message is all
0:48.8	about. Why Nazareth? Why then? What was the game-changing message and why was it necessary? So let's pray and dive into this very important message.
1:05.4	Father, we thank you so much for giving us your only begotten son.
1:19.9	That he would. your only begotten son, that he whosoever believes in him will not perish but will have eternal life. And Father, we ask that right now as we look into your word and
1:30.1	understand your heart, we will also understand the magnitude of that event that took
1:36.5	place nearly 2,000 years ago here in this area. We thank you and we bless you in Jesus name,
1:47.0	amen, amen. Again, shalom everyone. You're probably wondering how come it's Nazareth behind me and it's not Bethlehem.
1:57.0	Of course it isn't Bethlehem where Jesus, Yeshua was born, So how come it's Nazareth behind me?
2:05.0	It is Bethlehem because even the Prophet Micah, more than 700 years before the birth of Christ wrote in chapter 5 verse 2 but you
2:16.7	Bethlehem ifrata though you are a little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you, out of you Bethlehem, yes, shall come forth to me, the one to be ruler in Israel, whose going forth are from of old from everlasting. It's not a regular
2:39.9	person it's not someone who just got born and that's it and he has a lifespan of a regular
2:47.0	person. It's someone that existed already before the foundations of this world and he will always
2:58.1	exist from everlasting to everlasting.
3:02.1	And it's interesting because the Jewish people knew about that prophecy.
3:06.5	Again, for hundreds of years prior to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, it was a common knowledge that the Messiah has to come from that place.
