Of stars and stables: A Christmas sermon

History, astronomy and logic all affirm the biblical testimony of the birth of Jesus Christ. But until you make it personal, the name of Jesus is just one name among thousands in history. When you ask, "Would it matter to my life if he had not been born?" or "How does my destiny relate to his birth?" or "What has Jesus done for me?" the story of Christmas assumes personal proportions.

- From a sermon by Rod Benson preached in the shadow of the 2002 hostilities in Bethlehem.
