  It's the time of year to celebrate the birth of Jesus. How many times have you sung the hymn based on Isaiah 9:6? For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: Around the world various traditions celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Many Americans grew up singing songs, hearing the Christmas story in church, watching the Charlie Brown television special, or participating in school Christmas programs. Children acting the parts of Mary and Joseph bring back warm childhood memories for many.
But have you ever asked yourself what the original Christmas events were really like? When and where was Jesus born? Was there really an inn and a stable?
We can explore details related to Jesus' birth with resources readily available in Bible Gateway Plus. What was a "manger?" According to the NIV Exhaustive Concordance Dictionary, it may have been a "stall" and if you dig further, and review what the NIV Cultural Backgrounds Bible says in Luke 2:7, caves were often used as stalls for animals. Was Jesus born in a cave?
Let's go back to this wonderful hymn from Isaiah. Think about what each title given to Jesus means. What are their implications and significance for us today? Bible Gateway Plus will lead you into rich insights on this traditional hymn and much more.
