From A Cradle To A Cross
The True Story Of Christmas
And the Lord God commanded the man,
saying, Of every tree of the garden thou
mayest freely eat: But the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat
of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof
thou shalt surely die. – Genesis 2:16,17
The Reason God The Son Became A Man
Man Sins
Wherefore, as by one man sin
entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death
passed upon all men, for that
ALL HAVE SINNED.- Romans 5:12
But God commendeth his love
toward us, in that, while we
were yet sinners, Christ died
for us. Much more then, being
now justified by his blood we
shall be saved from wrath
through him. - Romans 5:8,9
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death...
...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Prophecy Of
The Savior
Who Would Come
And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her
seed; and it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel.
-- Genesis 3:15
Messiah Would Be Born To A Virgin
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you
a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive, and
bear a son, and shall call his name
Immanuel.
-- Isaiah 7:14
Born To A Virgin = Humanity Conceived of God
Immanuel = God with us (He is God!)
Messiah Would Be Born In Bethlehem
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though
thou be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth
unto me who is to be ruler in Israel;
whose goings forth have been from old,
from everlasting.
-- Micah 5:2
Bethlehem = City of David (“Throne of David”)
From everlasting = He is God
Messiah Would Come In Humility
For he shall grow up before him as a
tender plant, and as a root out of a dry
ground: he hath no form nor come-liness;
and when we shall see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire him.
-- Isaiah 53:2

Every Detail Arranged
By The Power Of God
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the
city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. – Luke 2:1-6
And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and
wrapped him in swad-
dling clothes, and laid him
in a manger; for there was
no room for them in the
inn.
– Luke 2:7
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. – Luke 2:8-11
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. -- Mark 16:15
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
– Luke 2:16,17
