Summary

Christmas has arrived. What is most interesting for me about Christmas is that billions of people around the world celebrate the birthday of someone they don't even know. Wow, Jesus is special! In this episode I answer two questions: (1) Why did pagans worship Jesus at his birth? (2) Why was Jesus born when he was born? The answers to these questions helps us understand why the Magi (Matthew 2) came to hear of Jesus' birth and come to worship him from deep in pagan territory. It also assist us in understanding why the timing of Jesus' birth was so significant and powerful.
