The backstory behind the place where Jesus was born is fascinating. It’s a gripping real-life story-better than a drama or anything theater could produce. All the elements of action, drama, love, and purity are present. It’s the story of Redemption set in a small Middle Eastern town called Bethlehem. This is an old story, but as you read, you may find the events coming alive to you in ways you never understood before, almost as if its brilliant secrets eluded you up until now. You may even find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat when you picture these nail-biting events as they unfold before your eyes. Some have said, The people made this place famous. I say, The birth of Jesus made this place famous. Just a few of the people who lived, worked, or walked on the very site of the place where Jesus was born are: Rahab, Boaz and Ruth, Jesse, David, Jeremiah (the prophet), Joseph and Mary, lots of shepherds, and even the Magi. Read on and see how this story comes together.
