  • Bible Red Thread 11a: Jesus of Nazareth His Birth (John 1) : Did you realize that the birth of Jesus has no equal and will never have? This is certainly why part of humanity celebrates Jesus's birthday (at Christmas)! He is the hope of man, and the lamb of God that plays a unique role in the history of man.
