149. When Was Jesus Born?

Is December 25, 1 A.D. actually Jesus' birthday? How do we know that for sure? 

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look through biblical clues, as well as historical sources, to determine what year and what day Jesus was born. There is plenty of debate when this actually happened, so we believe it is worth digging into to come up with an answer ourselves. Our hope is that you would be encouraged this Christmas season to remember the birth of Jesus and what He has done for us, regardless of whether He was born on December 25th or not.
