David Jeremiah - Why the Nativity? - Part 2

With each step of their journey, Mary and Joseph moved further away from the only home they knew. With each twist and turn of the winding road, they became more separated from all that was familiar and comfortable for them in Nazareth. Mary and Joseph would travel some 90 miles to Bethlehem, and most likely encountered a harsh and dangerous world along the way.

Bethlehem would play host to the nativity, an event that the world hardly noticed, yet an event that changed the destiny of every human creature.

That little town of Bethlehem, it bore watching. So as the years went by, the rabbis remembered, and the scholars kept an eye on the village. Everyone else passed it by without much notice, so that upon that amazing day when a peasant and his betrothed wife stole wearily into a frenzying town, no one could have anticipated that the world was about to be changed forever.
