If you asked the average person to describe the birth of Christ, they would probably mention animals, a manager, Mary—and three wise men. These men have become a permanent part of the Christmas story. But who exactly were they and why did they come visit Jesus? And could your view of these figures be more influenced by Christmas traditions than the Bible? John MacArthur helps answer those questions as he continues his study on The Birth of the King on the next GRACE TO YOU.
Who Were the Wise Men, Part 1

The Virgin Birth, Part 2
He healed the sick ... gave sight to the blind ... and rose from the dead.

The Virgin Birth, Part 1
Can you be a Christian if you don’t believe Jesus was born of a virgin? Is that an essential aspect of genuine faith? Could Jesus have redeemed sinners if He hadn’t been virgin born?

Why We Should Love the Church
Perhaps you know a professing Christian who says, “I’d go to church if it wasn’t for all the hypocrites.” Or maybe a member of a local church has mistreated you or criticized you, even lied to you.

Today’s lesson on GRACE TO YOU can help you answer that question . . . as John MacArthur explains why heloves the church, and why you should too.
The Power of Christmas Truth
Whether you grew up going to church or not, you’re probably familiar with the basic facts of Christmas.

For some overlooked yet profound Christmas truth that will help you prepare for the holiday season, stay here for a message John calls . . . The Power of Christmas Truth.
The Marvelous Birth of the King
Family trees can be fascinating, but—for the most part—they have little impact on your social status. Not so when Jesus was born. His genealogy determined where He lived, where He paid taxes, and the synagogue He belonged to. What’s more, Jesus’ ancestry shows that when He was born in Bethlehem, it was a royal birth. John MacArthur looks at that fascinating story today on GRACE TO YOU as he continues his study titled . . . The Best of Christmas.
