World-renowned theologian and pastor Dr. David Jeremiah answers some of the most pressing questions surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ in “Why the Nativity?” This is a perfect film for the Christmas season as it looks at the birth of the most world-changing gift the world has ever received: Jesus Christ. This is a free film intended for the entire family to enjoy together.
Christmas is a worthless, meaningless exercise without remembering and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Doing so would be like attempting to run a marathon while scarfing down a Big Mac or a pizza. It would be defeating the whole purpose.
Without God sending his Son, Jesus Christ, to Earth, we would have no hope or future. Eternal damnation and being lost for all eternity would be our destiny. But because of his immense and inexplicable love, mercy and grace for us, He made a way. A virgin gave birth to the one who would save man from their sin, born in a lowly manger surrounded by barnyard animals.
Many miracles occurred during the events leading up to and surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. God’s hand can be seen in many places, from Mary to Joseph to the wise men and in how Mary and Joseph avoided being detected by the jealous and rage-filled King Herod.
However, some still have questions and possibly even concerns about the events surrounding Christ’s birth. In “Why the Nativity?” Dr. David Jeremiah attempts to answer some of them.
The film’s website describes “Why the Nativity?” as a “fascinating presentation of biblical history with stunning visual dramatics creating an unforgettable journey through the wonders of Christmas!”
