The term “doctrine” seems as though it belongs in a

seminary institution more than it would a children’s Sunday School

class. Yet, one of the most beloved of all biblical accounts, the

story of Jesus’ birth, is packed full of doctrine. If we are not

careful, we might be tempted to overlook the basic truths which God

reveals of Himself in the midst of the nativity scene. Of primary

and glorious importance, we learn at Jesus’ birth that God has made

Himself known to us.
