Sermon series by pastor A. Kolomiytsev December 19, December 24, December 26 The Witnesses of Christmas For all its theological grandeur and significance, Christmas was associated with people, not only in the sense of saving people, but also in the sense that some people were given the opportunity to witness Christmas. The heavens spoke about the newborn Savior to the people. God chose several groups of them to whom heaven addressed the special revelation about the newborn Christ. This happened for a reason. There were three such groups: Joseph and Mary as the earthly parents of Jesus Christ; the shepherds, who represented the lowest state of society; and the magi or wise men from the east, representing the most educated people of the world at that time. God had His own reasons why He communicated the birth of Jesus to each of these groups. These reasons have not only historical, but also practical significance, helping us better understand the incarnation of God's Son.
