How do You React?

How do you react to the claim that God became a human being in Jesus?
How we react is not just a matter of looking at the evidence. It also depends on the assumptions we bring to the evidence.
If someone starts out convinced that the physical world is all there is – that there is no God, and no supernatural world – then no amount of evidence is likely to persuade them of anything different. They can always find a way to explain away the evidence.
On the other hand, if someone is open to the possibility that there is a God and a supernatural world, they are more likely to find the accounts of Jesus convincing.
So the first question that you have to ask is, how are you looking at the world? Are you open to the possibility that God is there, or have you already closed the door on that possibility?
In these videos, we have not tried to prove that God is there. We have tried to show that if he is there, the accounts of Jesus's birth make sense.
If God is real, and if Jesus really was God with us, then we would expect there would be some unusual events around his birth, and this is just what we do see.
If the Bible's way of looking at the world is true, God really is there, and there really is a supernatural world, and the birth of Jesus is the most important thing that has ever happened.
