Celebrate with a family a child in and out of foster care.
00:00:16.845 --> 00:00:17.412
In and out of foster care. >> he just had such a light
00:00:17.546 --> 00:00:20.249
And i watched a wave of emotion
00:00:23.785 --> 00:00:24.520
And i watched a wave of emotion come over him just time for the

>> well today we'll celebrate the birth of christ with of
00:00:50.779 --> 00:00:52.848
The birth of christ with of family miracles and the true
00:00:52.981 --> 00:00:53.549
Family miracles and the true reason for season.
00:00:53.682 --> 00:00:56.919
Reason for season. >> when we think of the
00:00:57.052 --> 00:00:57.686
>> when we think of the nativity we often picture
00:00:57.819 --> 00:00:58.320
Nativity we often picture shepherds wise men surrounding
00:00:58.453 --> 00:01:01.190
Shepherds wise men surrounding a manger.
00:01:01.323 --> 00:01:01.557
A manger. >> yet that image may not line
00:01:01.690 --> 00:01:04.993
>> yet that image may not line up with the historical record.
00:01:05.127 --> 00:01:05.727
Up with the historical record. billy hallowell separates the
00:01:05.861 --> 00:01:07.896
Billy hallowell separates the fact from the fiction nativity
00:01:08.030 --> 00:01:11.934
Fact from the fiction nativity scenes, artwork and popular
00:01:12.067 --> 00:01:12.601
Scenes, artwork and popular films attempt to retell
00:01:12.734 --> 00:01:15.737
Films attempt to retell incredible story behind jesus's
00:01:15.871 --> 00:01:16.471
Incredible story behind jesus's birth.
00:01:16.605 --> 00:01:16.772
Birth. in many there's sometimes a
00:01:16.905 --> 00:01:19.942
In many there's sometimes a disconnect between these
00:01:20.075 --> 00:01:20.542
Disconnect between these depictions and the biblical
00:01:20.676 --> 00:01:21.210
Depictions and the biblical details.
00:01:21.343 --> 00:01:21.543
Details. let's start with the popular
00:01:23.779 --> 00:01:24.513
Let's start with the popular belief that three wise men or
00:01:24.646 --> 00:01:25.347
Belief that three wise men or magi visited jesus.
00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.116
Magi visited jesus. >> it's great to go to
00:01:28.250 --> 00:01:28.951
>> it's great to go to scripture and start with the
00:01:29.084 --> 00:01:32.221
Scripture and start with the magi.
00:01:32.354 --> 00:01:32.521
Magi. you know when you think about
00:01:32.654 --> 00:01:34.990
You know when you think about what's the message?
00:01:35.123 --> 00:01:35.524
What's the message? well, there's three of them.
00:01:35.657 --> 00:01:36.225
Well, there's three of them. where do we find that?
00:01:36.358 --> 00:01:39.361
Where do we find that? >> not in the bible.
00:01:39.494 --> 00:01:40.028
>> not in the bible. so where do we get the idea
00:01:40.162 --> 00:01:40.829
So where do we get the idea then that there were wise men?
00:01:40.963 --> 00:01:42.364
Then that there were wise men? >> there's three gifts.
00:01:42.497 --> 00:01:42.965
>> there's three gifts. there's frankincense and gold.
00:01:43.098 --> 00:01:46.268
There's frankincense and gold. but again, it doesn't say three
00:01:46.401 --> 00:01:49.137
But again, it doesn't say three wise men.
00:01:49.271 --> 00:01:49.504
Wise men. and there's another
00:01:49.638 --> 00:01:50.038
And there's another misconception.
00:01:50.172 --> 00:01:50.472
Misconception. the magi met jesus the night of
00:01:50.606 --> 00:01:53.609
The magi met jesus the night of his birth.
00:01:53.742 --> 00:01:54.009
His birth. >> did they show up on the day
00:01:54.142 --> 00:01:56.912
>> did they show up on the day was born?
00:01:57.045 --> 00:01:57.312
Was born? odds are they did not.
00:01:57.446 --> 00:01:57.980
Odds are they did not. they would have taken quite a
00:01:58.113 --> 00:02:00.315
They would have taken quite a while but we don't know when
00:02:00.449 --> 00:02:01.049
While but we don't know when they started and when they when
00:02:01.183 --> 00:02:04.152
They started and when they when arrived.
00:02:04.286 --> 00:02:04.486
Arrived. >> historian william federer
00:02:04.620 --> 00:02:05.153
>> historian william federer says king herod's decree in
00:02:05.287 --> 00:02:08.257
Says king herod's decree in matthew two provides important
00:02:08.390 --> 00:02:08.991
Matthew two provides important clues about the wise men's
00:02:09.124 --> 00:02:12.494
Clues about the wise men's arrival.
00:02:12.628 --> 00:02:12.828
Arrival. >> we don't know the exact
00:02:12.961 --> 00:02:13.495
>> we don't know the exact timing but based on herod when
00:02:13.629 --> 00:02:16.798
Timing but based on herod when he inquired of the wise men
00:02:16.932 --> 00:02:20.869
He inquired of the wise men when the messiah born based on
00:02:21.003 --> 00:02:24.539
When the messiah born based on that he decides to kill babies
00:02:24.673 --> 00:02:28.243
That he decides to kill babies two years and younger.
00:02:28.377 --> 00:02:28.844
Two years and younger. >> and so it could have been up
00:02:28.977 --> 00:02:32.948
>> and so it could have been up to two years after jesus's that
00:02:33.081 --> 00:02:36.418
To two years after jesus's that the three wise men came.
00:02:36.551 --> 00:02:37.052
The three wise men came. >> plus some ambiguity
00:02:37.185 --> 00:02:39.788
>> plus some ambiguity surrounding mary and joseph's
00:02:39.921 --> 00:02:40.522
Surrounding mary and joseph's trip to bethlehem before
00:02:40.656 --> 00:02:43.625
Trip to bethlehem before christ's birth.
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:44.092
Christ's birth. >> we love to fill in the
00:02:44.226 --> 00:02:44.793
>> we love to fill in the blanks.
00:02:44.926 --> 00:02:45.127
Blanks. you know sometimes there's
00:02:45.260 --> 00:02:47.996
You know sometimes there's creative license when people
00:02:48.130 --> 00:02:48.697
Creative license when people think about mary and joseph.
00:02:48.830 --> 00:02:49.398
Think about mary and joseph. there are some perceptions you
00:02:49.531 --> 00:02:51.967
There are some perceptions you know mary was either on a
00:02:52.100 --> 00:02:52.634
Know mary was either on a donkey or a camel.
00:02:52.768 --> 00:02:53.168
Donkey or a camel. but the bible doesn't say that.
00:02:53.302 --> 00:02:55.904
But the bible doesn't say that. >> we're not told i mean, it
00:02:56.038 --> 00:02:56.872
>> we're not told i mean, it makes sense that she being so
00:02:57.005 --> 00:02:58.907
Makes sense that she being so heavy with child would have to
00:02:59.041 --> 00:02:59.675
Heavy with child would have to have some type of help whether
00:02:59.808 --> 00:03:02.978
Have some type of help whether it be an animal or a wagon.
00:03:03.111 --> 00:03:03.812
It be an animal or a wagon. somebody or something to help
00:03:06.381 --> 00:03:07.082
Somebody or something to help her make that trip.
00:03:07.215 --> 00:03:07.649
Her make that trip. >> and that's all.
00:03:07.783 --> 00:03:10.686
>> and that's all. >> while retellings often show
00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:11.420
>> while retellings often show mary giving birth right
00:03:11.553 --> 00:03:13.488
Mary giving birth right reaching bethlehem pastor shane
00:03:13.622 --> 00:03:14.222
Reaching bethlehem pastor shane eidelman offers a caveat we
00:03:14.356 --> 00:03:18.593
Eidelman offers a caveat we assume that right when she got
00:03:18.727 --> 00:03:19.328
Assume that right when she got there i feel the contractions
00:03:19.461 --> 00:03:22.297
There i feel the contractions where there's no room in the
00:03:22.431 --> 00:03:23.031
Where there's no room in the end but it doesn't really say.
00:03:23.165 --> 00:03:25.834
End but it doesn't really say. of course there's no there's no
00:03:25.967 --> 00:03:26.601
Of course there's no there's no lodging.
00:03:26.735 --> 00:03:26.935
Lodging. the place is full.
00:03:27.069 --> 00:03:27.469
The place is full. and so when they find
00:03:27.602 --> 00:03:29.838
And so when they find themselves basically in a
00:03:29.971 --> 00:03:30.472
Themselves basically in a stable and we don't even know
00:03:30.605 --> 00:03:34.242
Stable and we don't even know the condition of the stable but
00:03:34.376 --> 00:03:35.010
The condition of the stable but that's how they they ended up
00:03:35.143 --> 00:03:35.744
That's how they they ended up there.
00:03:35.877 --> 00:03:36.044
There. but we don't exactly how many
00:03:36.178 --> 00:03:36.945
But we don't exactly how many days they were in town before
00:03:37.079 --> 00:03:40.916
Days they were in town before she had the baby.
00:03:41.049 --> 00:03:41.416
She had the baby. >> and yet another depiction in
00:03:41.550 --> 00:03:42.317
>> and yet another depiction in popular church culture shows
00:03:42.451 --> 00:03:45.053
Popular church culture shows the baby jesus surrounded by
00:03:45.187 --> 00:03:45.787
The baby jesus surrounded by farm animals.
00:03:45.921 --> 00:03:48.757
Farm animals. >> we arrive at that because
00:03:48.890 --> 00:03:49.524
>> we arrive at that because jesus was born in a cave we
00:03:49.658 --> 00:03:52.894
Jesus was born in a cave we call it a stable but it was
00:03:53.028 --> 00:03:53.628
Call it a stable but it was most likely a cave a place
00:03:53.762 --> 00:03:56.898
Most likely a cave a place where the shepherds would would
00:03:57.032 --> 00:03:57.666
Where the shepherds would would come out of the weather at
00:03:57.799 --> 00:04:01.136
Come out of the weather at night.
00:04:01.269 --> 00:04:01.436
Night. and so odds are pretty good
00:04:01.570 --> 00:04:04.506
And so odds are pretty good that there were other animals
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:05.273
That there were other animals in the vicinity.
00:04:05.407 --> 00:04:05.741
In the vicinity. it's not too far a stretch to
00:04:05.874 --> 00:04:08.343
It's not too far a stretch to think that there were animals
00:04:08.477 --> 00:04:09.077
Think that there were animals in the cave of course lived
00:04:09.211 --> 00:04:11.880
In the cave of course lived seven also tells us mary
00:04:12.013 --> 00:04:12.547
Seven also tells us mary wrapped jesus in swaddling
00:04:12.681 --> 00:04:13.215
Wrapped jesus in swaddling cloths, laid him in a manger, a
00:04:13.348 --> 00:04:16.618
Cloths, laid him in a manger, a feeding trough for animals.
00:04:16.752 --> 00:04:19.788
Feeding trough for animals. all of this brings us to our
00:04:19.921 --> 00:04:20.756
All of this brings us to our final point of discussion
00:04:20.889 --> 00:04:21.423
Final point of discussion whether.
00:04:21.556 --> 00:04:22.991
Whether. >> december 25th is truly the
00:04:23.125 --> 00:04:23.759
>> december 25th is truly the date of christ's birth.
00:04:23.892 --> 00:04:24.393
Date of christ's birth. it is very interesting
00:04:24.526 --> 00:04:27.062
It is very interesting historically and you know, dive
00:04:27.195 --> 00:04:27.796
Historically and you know, dive into the research there's a
00:04:27.929 --> 00:04:30.665
Into the research there's a range of opinions including
00:04:30.799 --> 00:04:31.400
Range of opinions including march, april and may.
00:04:31.533 --> 00:04:31.967
March, april and may. >> we certainly don't celebrate
00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:34.236
>> we certainly don't celebrate christmas in may but how did we
00:04:34.369 --> 00:04:35.003
Christmas in may but how did we end up in.
00:04:35.137 --> 00:04:38.106
End up in. >> it wasn't until about 300
00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:38.874
>> it wasn't until about 300 years later that we on that
00:04:39.007 --> 00:04:42.344
Years later that we on that date.
00:04:42.477 --> 00:04:42.644
Date. >> this date issue has sparked
00:04:42.778 --> 00:04:43.378
>> this date issue has sparked no shortage of debate
00:04:43.512 --> 00:04:45.747
No shortage of debate conversation throughout
00:04:45.881 --> 00:04:46.348
Conversation throughout christian history and we just
00:04:46.481 --> 00:04:47.082
Christian history and we just don't know ancient christmases
00:04:47.215 --> 00:04:50.252
Don't know ancient christmases would bounce from date to date
00:04:50.385 --> 00:04:54.356
Would bounce from date to date before landing on december
00:04:54.489 --> 00:04:55.023
Before landing on december 25th.
00:04:55.157 --> 00:04:55.323
25th. some of the early church
00:04:55.457 --> 00:04:57.692
Some of the early church fathers really promoted dates
00:04:57.826 --> 00:04:58.427
Fathers really promoted dates in march and for centuries the
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.396
In march and for centuries the eastern orthodox church
00:05:01.530 --> 00:05:02.030
Eastern orthodox church celebrated on six and some
00:05:02.164 --> 00:05:05.467
Celebrated on six and some still do.
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:05.834
Still do. >> regardless lucado bradly
00:05:05.967 --> 00:05:09.137
>> regardless lucado bradly others agree that it's the
00:05:09.271 --> 00:05:09.805
Others agree that it's the intentional worship in
00:05:09.938 --> 00:05:10.405
Intentional worship in remembrance of christ's birth
00:05:10.539 --> 00:05:13.175
Remembrance of christ's birth and not the precise date that
00:05:13.308 --> 00:05:13.909
And not the precise date that truly matter.
00:05:14.042 --> 00:05:14.342
Truly matter. >> our father is really focused
00:05:14.476 --> 00:05:17.679
>> our father is really focused on the fact that the word
00:05:17.813 --> 00:05:20.782
On the fact that the word became flesh.
00:05:20.916 --> 00:05:21.216
Became flesh. he became flesh she became just
00:05:21.349 --> 00:05:24.786
He became flesh she became just like us.
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:25.120
Like us. >> none of these misconceptions
00:05:25.253 --> 00:05:28.156
>> none of these misconceptions take away from the central
00:05:28.290 --> 00:05:28.824
Take away from the central message of christmas that god
00:05:28.957 --> 00:05:29.558
Message of christmas that god sent his son to save humanity
00:05:29.691 --> 00:05:31.860
Sent his son to save humanity from our sins.
00:05:31.993 --> 00:05:32.294
From our sins. still it's helpful to know what
00:05:32.427 --> 00:05:35.697
Still it's helpful to know what scripture truly details.
00:05:35.831 --> 00:05:36.331
Scripture truly details. billy hallowell cbn news.

Angel told riley that she believed god was telling they
00:10:17.709 --> 00:10:20.946
Believed god was telling they should rethink the idea.
00:10:21.079 --> 00:10:24.383
Should rethink the idea. i can tell you after spending
00:10:24.516 --> 00:10:25.217
I can tell you after spending an hour what mason i knew about
00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:28.520
An hour what mason i knew about our work with foster care was

Our work with foster care was not over.
00:10:29.421 --> 00:10:31.290
Not over. i knew that there was a
00:10:31.423 --> 00:10:32.057
I knew that there was a possibility he could be in our
00:10:32.191 --> 00:10:32.925
Possibility he could be in our home i do remember going home

We could have fostered. >> so when i brought up the
00:10:43.602 --> 00:10:44.303
>> so when i brought up the idea of mason it wasn't hard to
00:10:44.436 --> 00:10:46.638
Idea of mason it wasn't hard to get him on board later on jill
00:10:46.772 --> 00:10:50.442

Learned over time after losing a mom is it's a club that
00:10:59.117 --> 00:11:01.420
A mom is it's a club that nobody wants to be in.
00:11:01.553 --> 00:11:02.020
Nobody wants to be in. and so instantly when he told

I was to just make him as much of a part of my family as i
00:13:33.005 --> 00:13:33.939
Of a part of my family as i could.

Did scavenger hunts the same as my boys have always done and
00:13:40.946 --> 00:13:41.546
My boys have always done and for him that was something new

Love and generosity he a new family wasn't the only gift he

Family wasn't the only gift he received now god has brought
00:13:53.492 --> 00:13:57.262
Received now god has brought back into my life like with
00:13:57.396 --> 00:13:58.096
Back into my life like with everything that happened after
00:13:58.230 --> 00:13:59.831
Everything that happened after that like it was kind of like
00:13:59.965 --> 00:14:03.101
That like it was kind of like to me how i perceived it was it
00:14:03.235 --> 00:14:07.372
To me how i perceived it was it was basically like god saying
00:14:07.506 --> 00:14:08.106
Was basically like god saying like i was still here.
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.475
Like i was still here. i tell people i have three boys
00:14:10.609 --> 00:14:15.480
I tell people i have three boys and one of them's a bonus son
00:14:15.614 --> 00:14:16.214
And one of them's a bonus son and sometimes they feel like
00:14:16.348 --> 00:14:18.784
And sometimes they feel like maybe that's a stepson or
00:14:18.917 --> 00:14:19.451
Maybe that's a stepson or something but mason is a bonus
00:14:19.584 --> 00:14:22.587
Something but mason is a bonus in a totally different way
00:14:22.721 --> 00:14:23.221
In a totally different way because god gave them to me and
00:14:23.355 --> 00:14:25.524
Because god gave them to me and to our family.
00:14:25.657 --> 00:14:29.361
