Title:

Description:

Sermon start time: 00:10. Sermon end time: 20:20.
In this sermon, the preacher interprets Bethlehem, the place of Jesus’ nativity, allegorically. He parallels it as the place of massacres, sufferings, and great pains under the dictatorship of oppressive political powers. It is to this place that Love came down at Christmas in the Incarnation. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
Key quotation: “In a way, everything that the Bible means by Christmas can be said in that one name, Bethlehem.”
