The Miracle of Christ's Birth
Chris Walls
Luke 2:8-14
Introduction
When we consider the Birth of Christ, do we truly understand what a miracle that event was? I have a book in my library that is entitled, ''What if Christ had never been born?'' The impact of Christ on the world around us is incredible.

Was the miracle of Christ birth in the fulfillment of all the prophecies? No, there is a greater miracle in the birth of Christ than all of this. There is actually three great miracles that occur. One occurred when Christ was born. The other two miracles occurred in His death. If it was not for the birth of Christ, then none of the miracles would occur.

And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!'' (NIV)
