The Gospel According to Isaiah

Where in the New Testament does the Christmas story begin?

Interestingly, the Christmas story does not begin in the New Testament with the Gospels, but rather in the Old Testament, particularly in one of the major prophetic books in the Bible, the book of Isaiah.

The book of Isaiah is like a Bible in a book with 66 chapters and two major divisions, including the first 39 chapters emphasizing the PROBLEM of SIN and our need for the Savior, while the remaining 27 chapters focus on the PROMISE of the SAVIOR, who would one day come to take care of our ultimate problem of sin and death, and for those who trust in Him, make all things new!

The Book of Isaiah is also known as, 'The Fifth Gospel,' because it contains so many prophetic references to the life of Christ, including His birth, life, and death.

We hope you enjoy listening to an additional view of the New Testament Christmas story through, 'The Gospel According to Isaiah."
