This week’s message is “From the Manger to the Magi,” as we walk through Luke 2:21–38 and look at what happened after the manger scene we’re so familiar with.

Christmas isn’t just one night and a nativity set. In this episode we trace the quiet but powerful steps of Jesus’ early days:
• His circumcision and naming on the eighth day – obedience before recognition
• Mary’s purification and Jesus’ presentation at the temple – a family walking faithfully under God’s Law
• Simeon, who had been “waiting for the consolation of Israel,” finally holding the Lord’s Christ in his arms
• Anna, the elderly prophetess, giving thanks and speaking of Him to all who were waiting for redemption

We see how God’s promises in passages like Numbers 24 and Daniel 7 are converging in this tiny Child… and how, from the very beginning, the cross and the Kingdom are already in view.

This episode sets the stage for the coming of the Magi and reminds us that God’s plan is never random: the right Child, in the right family, in the right city, at the right time—for Israel and for the nations.

Listen in, share with a friend, and let the wonder of Christ’s coming stretch beyond a single night into a deeper walk with the King.
