Pulling from multiple passages in both the Old and New Testaments, including the birth narratives and prophetic foretellings, Stefan unpacks the wonder, majesty, and divinity of Christ. More than a baby in a manger, Jesus is King, Redeemer, Shepherd, Judge, and Savior—each title revealing the layers of God’s love and purpose for humanity.
