Summary: In Part 2 of The First Christmas, Pastor Steve takes a detailed look at the environment surrounding the birth of Jesus. Roman conquest, oppression, persecution, and more accompanied the miraculous arrival of Jesus. Not only is it good for us to understand the scene around Jesus' birth, but it also has applications to us today – Jesus isn't afraid to enter our deepest and darkest characteristics. We need to be people who know how to find Jesus in the midst of our own darkness because He’s there, hasn’t forgotten us, and is still in charge!
