Take one.
3
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:37,787
- Hey, y'all...

4
00:00:37,829 --> 00:00:39,039

The Bonner Family.
6
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:41,291
I'm Leanna Crawford.

00:00:42,375 --> 00:00:43,209
We are Dawson Hollow.

We are Maverick City Music.
11
00:00:48,340 --> 00:00:50,216
- This is Joel & Luke here
with King & Country
12
00:00:50,258 --> 00:00:51,217
I'm Brandon Lake.

00:00:51,259 --> 00:00:52,427
Hi, I'm Matt Maher.

00:00:52,469 --> 00:00:53,762
And we're Cain.
15
00:00:53,803 --> 00:00:56,556
- Christmas as a kid,
it always felt magical.
16
00:00:56,598 --> 00:00:58,850
Feeling the gravity
as an adult of knowing
17
00:00:58,892 --> 00:01:01,644
that the magic is, God is here.
18
00:01:01,686 --> 00:01:04,981
- This is the start of God
being with us.
19
00:01:05,023 --> 00:01:08,735
That hope arrived, love arrived.
20
00:01:08,777 --> 00:01:12,781
Knowing that Christ was born
as the lowliest of the low.
21
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:16,076
What a breathtaking start
22
00:01:16,117 --> 00:01:19,329
to the most amazing story
ever been told.
23
00:01:20,580 --> 00:01:22,165
People must know about it.

77
00:06:03,905 --> 00:06:05,365
- Hey, there,
Dallas Jenkins here.
78
00:06:05,407 --> 00:06:08,410
And welcome to
"Christmas with The Chosen."
79
00:06:08,451 --> 00:06:10,495
I'm on our incredible set
here in Utah,
80
00:06:10,537 --> 00:06:12,330
where we filmed half of Season 2
81
00:06:12,372 --> 00:06:13,873
and all of tonight's event,
82
00:06:13,915 --> 00:06:16,501
including the special episode
coming up soon.
83
00:06:16,543 --> 00:06:18,461
You're going to see
some great stuff tonight.
84
00:06:18,503 --> 00:06:19,897
We've got some of
our favorite musicians
85
00:06:19,921 --> 00:06:22,590
bringing you new and classic
Christmas songs,
86
00:06:22,632 --> 00:06:25,135
all pointing
towards a celebration.
87
00:06:25,176 --> 00:06:26,886
You'll also hear
beautiful monologues
88
00:06:26,928 --> 00:06:30,306
featuring four of the iconic
names of God from the Bible,
89
00:06:30,348 --> 00:06:32,726
and why they matter to us today.
90
00:06:32,767 --> 00:06:35,020
There are so many cool things
about tonight,
91
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:36,938
and it means a lot
that you're here with us.
92
00:06:36,980 --> 00:06:39,607
Christmas is by far
my favorite season.
93
00:06:39,649 --> 00:06:40,859
I believe the birth of Christ
94
00:06:40,900 --> 00:06:43,653
is the single greatest event
in human history.
95
00:06:43,695 --> 00:06:45,113
My favorite movie of all time is
96
00:06:45,155 --> 00:06:46,489
"It's a Wonderful Life,"
97
00:06:46,531 --> 00:06:48,658
the first film I ever directed
is a Christmas film,
98
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:50,076
and as you hopefully know,
99
00:06:50,118 --> 00:06:52,620
"The Chosen" was actually
launched by "The Shepherd,"
100
00:06:52,662 --> 00:06:56,291
a short film I made for my
church's Christmas Eve service
101
00:06:56,332 --> 00:06:57,500
on my friend's farm
102
00:06:57,542 --> 00:06:59,919
20 minutes from my house
in Illinois.
103
00:06:59,961 --> 00:07:01,171
In that little film
104
00:07:01,212 --> 00:07:02,773
that became the pilot episode
of "The Chosen,"
105
00:07:02,797 --> 00:07:04,382
there's a line near the end
106
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:07,969
where the shepherd says to Mary
and Joseph three great words,
107
00:07:08,011 --> 00:07:10,638
"People must know."
108
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,975
- People must know,
people must know.
109
00:07:14,017 --> 00:07:15,185
People must know.
110
00:07:16,311 --> 00:07:19,064
- That's a simple
but important truth,
111
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:21,983
which ultimately leads
to what I know you're eager for,
112
00:07:22,025 --> 00:07:25,153
a very special Christmas episode
of "The Chosen."
113
00:07:25,195 --> 00:07:26,404
And that episode
114
00:07:26,446 --> 00:07:28,990
is all about the reality
of the birth of Jesus,
115
00:07:29,032 --> 00:07:31,785
to portray,
as authentically as possible,
116
00:07:31,826 --> 00:07:35,497
what it might have been like
for Mary and Joseph.
117
00:07:35,538 --> 00:07:37,665
Authenticity is what
we're after tonight.
118
00:07:37,707 --> 00:07:39,584
It's our number one goal
with "The Chosen,"
119
00:07:39,626 --> 00:07:42,003
to show the world
the authentic Jesus.
120
00:07:42,045 --> 00:07:44,631
It's why we chose the musicians
we did tonight.
121
00:07:44,673 --> 00:07:47,842
They all share our passion
to get rid of the artificial
122
00:07:47,884 --> 00:07:50,303
and some of the walls
we've put up between us,
123
00:07:50,345 --> 00:07:51,888
and also between ourselves
124
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:54,516
and what actually happened
on that night
125
00:07:54,557 --> 00:07:57,310
so that you can focus
solely on the One
126
00:07:57,352 --> 00:08:00,271
who is the reason
we're all here.
127
00:08:00,313 --> 00:08:02,107
So what's our response
to all that,
128
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:03,483
to all the great songs,
129
00:08:03,525 --> 00:08:05,860
to understanding
the incredible names of God,
130
00:08:05,902 --> 00:08:08,738
to the story of what actually
happened on that simple night,
131
00:08:08,780 --> 00:08:11,700
where two overwhelmed peasants
stuck in a stable
132
00:08:11,741 --> 00:08:15,620
brought the Son of God
into the world?
133
00:08:15,662 --> 00:08:17,831
People must know.
134
00:08:17,872 --> 00:08:20,375
If you don't already
passionately believe that,
135
00:08:20,417 --> 00:08:21,960
I'm confident you will
136
00:08:22,002 --> 00:08:24,504
by the time
you leave here tonight.
137
00:08:24,546 --> 00:08:27,590
I'm so glad you're here
and Merry Christmas.

♫ Holy, holy, ♫

00:16:02,087 --> 00:16:06,299
♫ Hallelujah, our King ♫♫
230
00:16:09,803 --> 00:16:11,012
You know that feeling
231
00:16:11,054 --> 00:16:13,473
when the electricity
cuts out unexpectedly
232
00:16:13,515 --> 00:16:15,684
and you are plunged
into sudden darkness?
233
00:16:17,185 --> 00:16:19,020
As a child, alone in your room,
234
00:16:19,062 --> 00:16:20,897
your first instinct
might be to cry out,
235
00:16:20,939 --> 00:16:23,483
"Mom! Dad!"
236
00:16:23,525 --> 00:16:25,193
Or maybe even God.
237
00:16:26,695 --> 00:16:28,905
Many thousands of years ago,
238
00:16:28,947 --> 00:16:32,283
a woman named Hagar
did just that.
239
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:34,452
The light of her life
was abruptly snuffed out
240
00:16:34,494 --> 00:16:38,998
when she found herself pregnant
under dubious circumstances...
241
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:40,166
not unlike someone else
242
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:42,210
we'll be hearing
and singing about tonight.
243
00:16:43,378 --> 00:16:47,465
She was frightened, alone,
and on the run...
244
00:16:47,507 --> 00:16:52,095
feeling invisible,
small, and abandoned.
245
00:16:52,137 --> 00:16:54,723
So Hagar cried out to God
for help,
246
00:16:54,764 --> 00:16:56,349
and when He comforted her,
247
00:16:56,391 --> 00:16:59,352
she responded
in relief by calling Him,
248
00:16:59,394 --> 00:17:04,399
"Adonai El-Roi,"
the God Who Sees Me.
249
00:17:04,441 --> 00:17:07,986
Hagar felt seen and known...
250
00:17:08,028 --> 00:17:10,905
Which is all anyone
really wants...
251
00:17:10,947 --> 00:17:14,034
And it gave her the courage
to face her dire circumstances
252
00:17:14,075 --> 00:17:17,078
with the confidence
that God was with her,
253
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:19,205
watching over her,
254
00:17:19,247 --> 00:17:21,082
never going to let her go.
255
00:17:22,792 --> 00:17:25,086
Sixty-five generations later,
256
00:17:25,128 --> 00:17:27,213
a prophet named Malachi...
257
00:17:27,255 --> 00:17:30,091
Whose name means
"My Messenger"...
258
00:17:30,133 --> 00:17:32,844
Wrote down these words,
259
00:17:32,886 --> 00:17:34,054
"Behold,
260
00:17:34,095 --> 00:17:35,680
"I will send you
Elijah the prophet
261
00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:39,267
"before the great and awesome
Day of the Lord comes.
262
00:17:39,309 --> 00:17:42,437
"And he will turn the hearts
of fathers to their children
263
00:17:42,479 --> 00:17:46,274
"and the hearts of children
to their fathers,
264
00:17:46,316 --> 00:17:47,609
"lest I come and strike the land
265
00:17:47,650 --> 00:17:51,196
with a decree
of utter destruction."
266
00:17:51,237 --> 00:17:54,574
And with that final word,
"destruction,"
267
00:17:54,616 --> 00:17:56,409
fittingly,
268
00:17:56,451 --> 00:18:01,081
the lights clicked off.
269
00:18:01,122 --> 00:18:03,375
The people of God
were plunged into darkness,
270
00:18:03,416 --> 00:18:06,211
as there would be no more words
from the prophets...
271
00:18:06,252 --> 00:18:08,046
God's messengers...
272
00:18:08,088 --> 00:18:10,548
For hundreds of years.
273
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,759
The silence
cast a shadow over Israel
274
00:18:12,801 --> 00:18:15,261
that seemed to only deepen
when Alexander the Great
275
00:18:15,303 --> 00:18:19,432
rode in with his Macedonian army
and conquered Jerusalem,
276
00:18:19,474 --> 00:18:22,102
followed by
the Ptolemies of Egypt,
277
00:18:22,143 --> 00:18:24,104
the Syrian Seleucids,
278
00:18:24,145 --> 00:18:25,772
and finally Rome.
279
00:18:25,814 --> 00:18:29,109
Ruler after ruler,
oppressor after oppressor,
280
00:18:29,150 --> 00:18:33,029
it was hard to fathom
the name Adonai El-Roi...
281
00:18:33,071 --> 00:18:34,781
The God Who Sees Us.
282
00:18:36,324 --> 00:18:38,785
Was He really watching?
283
00:18:38,827 --> 00:18:40,620
Paying attention?
284
00:18:40,662 --> 00:18:43,665
Had He turned His face away
or shut His eyes?
285
00:18:45,542 --> 00:18:48,294
That's the thing
about being mortal.
286
00:18:48,336 --> 00:18:51,798
We can't see in the dark.
287
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,466
But God can.
288
00:18:54,426 --> 00:18:56,469
Somehow, David knew this,
289
00:18:56,511 --> 00:18:59,472
and he wrote about it in Psalms,
290
00:18:59,514 --> 00:19:03,059
"Even the darkness
is not dark to you.
291
00:19:03,101 --> 00:19:05,478
"The night is bright as the day,
292
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,189
for darkness
is as light with you."
293
00:19:09,774 --> 00:19:15,238
Even when we can't see God,
He sees us.
294
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,824
Even when we can't see a way
forward through the night,
295
00:19:17,866 --> 00:19:20,243
He's preparing a way.
296
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:23,496
The oppression that crushed
the people of God
297
00:19:23,538 --> 00:19:25,707
during the 400 years of silence
298
00:19:25,749 --> 00:19:30,920
made Israel feel small,
vulnerable, covered in blood,
299
00:19:30,962 --> 00:19:33,840
kicked out of the house
and told to sleep in the barn.
300
00:19:35,300 --> 00:19:38,261
Little did we know,
301
00:19:38,303 --> 00:19:41,348
the God Who Sees
even when we can't,
302
00:19:41,389 --> 00:19:43,350
was preparing a Savior
303
00:19:43,391 --> 00:19:46,102
who would arrive the same way...
304
00:19:46,144 --> 00:19:51,024
small, vulnerable,
covered in blood,
305
00:19:51,066 --> 00:19:53,443
and hidden away
in a lowly stable
306
00:19:53,485 --> 00:19:56,321
on a cold night,
in a small town.

356
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:18,857
♫ That Jesus Christ is born ♫
357
00:23:18,898 --> 00:23:23,236
♫ That Jesus Christ is born ♫
358
00:23:23,278 --> 00:23:29,451
♫ That Jesus Christ is born ♫♫
359
00:23:32,746 --> 00:23:33,913
When I think about Jesus
360
00:23:33,955 --> 00:23:35,707
and I think about
the Christmas story,
361
00:23:35,749 --> 00:23:39,961
I think people must know that
this is a miraculous story
362
00:23:40,003 --> 00:23:44,591
and that miracles are
just as present and alive
363
00:23:44,632 --> 00:23:47,594
and possible today
as they ever have been,
364
00:23:47,635 --> 00:23:49,554
because Jesus is alive.
365
00:23:49,596 --> 00:23:51,598
- Going to church,
you hear the story of Jesus
366
00:23:51,639 --> 00:23:52,891
over and over again,
367
00:23:52,932 --> 00:23:56,102
and when we think
about that story,
368
00:23:56,144 --> 00:23:57,354
if someone asks me,
369
00:23:57,395 --> 00:24:00,106
"What must people know
about Christmas?"
370
00:24:00,148 --> 00:24:04,069
It's that reality that...
371
00:24:04,110 --> 00:24:06,154
That the Nativity
372
00:24:06,196 --> 00:24:09,908
isn't a piece of porcelain
that can be broken,
373
00:24:09,949 --> 00:24:13,620
that you have
to keep on a shelf.
374
00:24:13,661 --> 00:24:17,457
It's a very real encounter
with God,
375
00:24:17,499 --> 00:24:19,018
that He wants you
to roll up your sleeves
376
00:24:19,042 --> 00:24:21,252
and get down into
the middle of it with.
377
00:24:21,294 --> 00:24:22,879
I mean, that's the gospel.
378
00:24:22,921 --> 00:24:26,299
And so, getting back to
the real heartbeat, if you will,
379
00:24:26,341 --> 00:24:27,926
of what people must know,
380
00:24:27,967 --> 00:24:31,304
I think... we think
people must know
381
00:24:31,346 --> 00:24:32,972
that there's this
incredible love story
382
00:24:33,014 --> 00:24:36,559
that God is engaging
with humanity
383
00:24:36,601 --> 00:24:38,019
through all of this.
384
00:24:38,061 --> 00:24:40,563
And this incredible love story
started with a baby
385
00:24:40,605 --> 00:24:44,025
that literally turned BC
into AD.
386
00:24:44,067 --> 00:24:50,198
We must know that God is
offering each of us redemption
387
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,075
and a fresh start.
388
00:24:52,117 --> 00:24:55,495
- People must know
that God loves them,
389
00:24:55,537 --> 00:24:57,664
sent His Son to save them,
390
00:24:57,706 --> 00:25:01,835
so that they can experience
what real living, real hope,
391
00:25:01,876 --> 00:25:05,922
real joy,
real humanity truly is.

♫ Foundations of the earth

♫ Then heavens wore,
the earth stood still

No one could agree on anything.
522
00:34:43,625 --> 00:34:47,212
During the 400 years
when God stopped speaking,
523
00:34:47,253 --> 00:34:48,546
people took it upon themselves
524
00:34:48,588 --> 00:34:51,925
to fill the dead air
with their own ideas,
525
00:34:51,966 --> 00:34:54,177
splintering into factions...
526
00:34:54,219 --> 00:34:59,432
Pharisees, Sadducees,
Essenes, Zealots,
527
00:34:59,474 --> 00:35:00,809
and more,
528
00:35:00,850 --> 00:35:03,144
all obsessing over minutiae
529
00:35:03,186 --> 00:35:05,980
and casting judgment
on the other groups.
530
00:35:06,022 --> 00:35:08,274
Everyone was completely certain
531
00:35:08,316 --> 00:35:10,360
that their way of following God
532
00:35:10,402 --> 00:35:14,239
was the right way, the only way,
533
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,158
and anyone who differed
in the slightest
534
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,244
was an aberration,
535
00:35:19,285 --> 00:35:22,330
a pariah, irredeemable,
536
00:35:22,372 --> 00:35:25,291
not to be associated with,
537
00:35:25,333 --> 00:35:28,086
perhaps even a pagan enemy.
538
00:35:28,128 --> 00:35:30,630
The word "nuance"
didn't exist yet,
539
00:35:30,672 --> 00:35:32,924
and even if it did
it wouldn't have mattered,
540
00:35:32,966 --> 00:35:36,094
because no one was willing
to come to the table and listen,
541
00:35:36,136 --> 00:35:37,637
choose generosity of spirit,
542
00:35:37,679 --> 00:35:42,100
or pause to consider
another's point of view.
543
00:35:42,142 --> 00:35:44,686
Sound familiar?
544
00:35:44,728 --> 00:35:46,396
Everywhere
we look in the world today,
545
00:35:46,438 --> 00:35:49,149
it feels like there is no peace.
546
00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:52,444
Hunkered down in silos
of discord and division,
547
00:35:52,485 --> 00:35:56,990
everyone seems to have decided
they have a corner on the truth,
548
00:35:57,032 --> 00:35:58,700
all others be damned.
549
00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:03,371
But we must not give in
to hopelessness.
550
00:36:04,664 --> 00:36:07,459
If you think the world
looks scary today,
551
00:36:07,500 --> 00:36:10,503
take a look
at the period of the Judges.
552
00:36:10,545 --> 00:36:14,257
The people of God were
being massacred, besieged,
553
00:36:14,299 --> 00:36:16,551
and attacked
from every direction,
554
00:36:16,593 --> 00:36:18,353
to the point that
they were hiding themselves
555
00:36:18,386 --> 00:36:22,474
in the mountain cliffs,
caves, and strongholds.
556
00:36:22,515 --> 00:36:25,977
And yet, in the midst
of all the chaos,
557
00:36:26,019 --> 00:36:32,150
there was a man named Gideon
who called God Jehovah-Shalom...
558
00:36:32,192 --> 00:36:33,985
The Lord is Our Peace.
559
00:36:35,904 --> 00:36:37,614
Can you imagine?
560
00:36:37,655 --> 00:36:42,494
Jehovah-Shalom,
when war was raging all around.
561
00:36:42,535 --> 00:36:45,372
An angel of the Lord,
a Messenger,
562
00:36:45,413 --> 00:36:46,790
came to Gideon at Ophrah
563
00:36:46,831 --> 00:36:50,168
and assured him
that God was with him,
564
00:36:50,210 --> 00:36:52,879
that Gideon could lead
his people into battle
565
00:36:52,921 --> 00:36:55,715
and defeat their enemies.
566
00:36:55,757 --> 00:36:58,551
In faith that the word
of the Lord would prove true,
567
00:36:58,593 --> 00:37:02,764
Gideon built an altar to God
and called it Jehovah-Shalom.
568
00:37:05,183 --> 00:37:06,976
Shalom.
569
00:37:07,018 --> 00:37:11,231
It might be the most
beautiful word in the universe.
570
00:37:11,272 --> 00:37:15,235
It means peace, wholeness,
571
00:37:15,276 --> 00:37:18,905
perfection, and tranquility...
572
00:37:18,947 --> 00:37:22,242
the opposite of what the world
often reflects today
573
00:37:22,283 --> 00:37:25,161
and during the 400 years
of crushing silence
574
00:37:25,203 --> 00:37:28,331
between the Old
and New Testaments.
575
00:37:28,373 --> 00:37:30,375
It's a word that
Hebrew-speaking people,
576
00:37:30,417 --> 00:37:31,668
both then and now,
577
00:37:31,710 --> 00:37:34,879
use to say "hello"
and "goodbye."
578
00:37:34,921 --> 00:37:39,009
It marks the beginning and end
of an interaction.
579
00:37:39,050 --> 00:37:41,678
The Alpha and Omega.
580
00:37:41,720 --> 00:37:44,139
And so it is with
all of redemptive history,
581
00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:47,100
the world began in Shalom...
582
00:37:47,142 --> 00:37:49,769
a garden unblemished by sin.
583
00:37:49,811 --> 00:37:52,564
And we know
it will end in Shalom...
584
00:37:52,605 --> 00:37:54,607
a new heaven and a new earth,
585
00:37:54,649 --> 00:37:58,236
where God will wipe away
every tear from our eyes
586
00:37:58,278 --> 00:38:01,489
and death shall be no more,
587
00:38:01,531 --> 00:38:04,367
neither shall there be
mourning, nor crying,
588
00:38:04,409 --> 00:38:06,327
nor pain anymore.
589
00:38:07,620 --> 00:38:11,374
And the city has no need of sun
or moon to shine on it,
590
00:38:11,416 --> 00:38:14,294
for the glory of God
gives it light,
591
00:38:14,336 --> 00:38:16,838
and its lamp is the Lamb.
592
00:38:18,214 --> 00:38:20,133
By its light
will the nations walk
593
00:38:20,175 --> 00:38:22,052
and there will be
no night there.
594
00:38:24,387 --> 00:38:26,681
The Apostle John
wrote those words
595
00:38:26,723 --> 00:38:29,768
while in exile
on the Isle of Patmos,
596
00:38:29,809 --> 00:38:32,520
but the Man whose death
and resurrection
597
00:38:32,562 --> 00:38:34,397
would make it possible
for people
598
00:38:34,439 --> 00:38:37,692
to access the renewed kingdom
of which he wrote
599
00:38:37,734 --> 00:38:40,987
was prophesied
centuries before Christ's birth.
600
00:38:42,238 --> 00:38:45,200
Isaiah described
a coming Messiah
601
00:38:45,241 --> 00:38:48,953
who would be called
Wonderful Counselor,
602
00:38:48,995 --> 00:38:51,164
Mighty God,
603
00:38:51,206 --> 00:38:53,875
Everlasting Father,
604
00:38:53,917 --> 00:38:55,543
Prince of Peace.
605
00:38:57,796 --> 00:39:01,508
We needed Him then,
and we need Him now,
606
00:39:01,549 --> 00:39:04,052
more than ever.
607
00:39:04,094 --> 00:39:06,930
Our Prince of Peace.
608
00:39:06,971 --> 00:39:08,556
Jehovah Shalom.

♫ Born is the King of Israel ♫♫
738
00:50:27,402 --> 00:50:33,074
♫ ♫
739
00:50:43,543 --> 00:50:45,253
People must know
740
00:50:45,295 --> 00:50:48,715
that God's mercy and love
is infinite.
741
00:50:48,757 --> 00:50:51,593
- He loves you so much
and He loves me so much.
742
00:50:51,634 --> 00:50:54,471
Like, so, so much more
than I could ever imagine,
743
00:50:54,512 --> 00:50:56,890
and way more than I deserve.
744
00:50:56,931 --> 00:51:00,268
- There's nothing that
disqualifies us from His grace,
745
00:51:00,310 --> 00:51:02,020
His love, and His mercy.
746
00:51:02,062 --> 00:51:04,314
- He's for you,
no matter who you are
747
00:51:04,356 --> 00:51:07,317
or where you're from,
Christ is for you.
748
00:51:07,359 --> 00:51:09,569
- I've experienced
a lot of loneliness
749
00:51:09,611 --> 00:51:11,237
and a lot of brokenness.
750
00:51:11,279 --> 00:51:14,115
And the way that Jesus
entered into my story
751
00:51:14,157 --> 00:51:15,742
and became my friend,
752
00:51:15,784 --> 00:51:17,118
He's made me whole,
753
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:18,453
and He's given me purpose.
754
00:51:18,495 --> 00:51:21,081
And it just makes me want to cry
thinking about it,
755
00:51:21,122 --> 00:51:23,166
knowing that I have a friend.
756
00:51:23,208 --> 00:51:24,518
- But I believe that
a lot of people
757
00:51:24,542 --> 00:51:28,254
think of Jesus and
God our Father as a hard man,
758
00:51:28,296 --> 00:51:30,090
and He's just not that way.
759
00:51:30,131 --> 00:51:31,633
And I think that
people must know
760
00:51:31,675 --> 00:51:34,636
that Jesus is always going
to be a safe place to land,
761
00:51:34,678 --> 00:51:36,429
and open arms.
762
00:51:36,471 --> 00:51:37,573
- Even from the Old Testament
763
00:51:37,597 --> 00:51:39,391
they believed
that He was just distant.
764
00:51:39,432 --> 00:51:42,602
He shut the heavens;
we can never really reach Him.
765
00:51:42,644 --> 00:51:45,438
But then like
Jesus was Emmanuel,
766
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,274
He's God with us,
God in the flesh.
767
00:51:48,316 --> 00:51:49,377
And it's like
that shows, you know,
768
00:51:49,401 --> 00:51:51,361
He's actually like close.
769
00:51:51,403 --> 00:51:52,612
People must know that
770
00:51:52,654 --> 00:51:54,406
He's actually close
and present and loving.
771
00:51:54,447 --> 00:51:58,201
- People must know
that when God,
772
00:51:58,243 --> 00:52:00,453
the Creator of the universe,
chose to send His son,
773
00:52:00,495 --> 00:52:04,165
that He was thinking about me,
He was thinking about you,
774
00:52:04,207 --> 00:52:07,127
when He chose to come
as a helpless baby.
775
00:52:07,168 --> 00:52:08,670
That has changed
everything for me,
776
00:52:08,712 --> 00:52:11,297
that He was thinking about me
when He said like,
777
00:52:11,339 --> 00:52:12,924
"Okay, We're going to go;
778
00:52:12,966 --> 00:52:14,509
We're going to do this thing."
779
00:52:14,551 --> 00:52:15,427
He's here.
780
00:52:15,468 --> 00:52:16,737
And He's with us
in every season,
781
00:52:16,761 --> 00:52:17,971
not just Christmas,
782
00:52:18,013 --> 00:52:20,140
not just when
you've lost someone
783
00:52:20,181 --> 00:52:21,367
that's close
and near and dear to you,
784
00:52:21,391 --> 00:52:24,811
Not just when things
are going well,
785
00:52:24,853 --> 00:52:26,146
but in every season,
786
00:52:26,187 --> 00:52:27,814
He's here with you.

00:58:48,778 --> 00:58:51,364
It's composed of
four Hebrew characters...
877
00:58:51,406 --> 00:58:54,909
Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh,
878
00:58:54,951 --> 00:58:58,288
sometimes
called the tetragrammaton.
879
00:58:58,329 --> 00:59:01,207
It is considered
so holy and sacred
880
00:59:01,249 --> 00:59:04,169
that the Jewish people would
not even say it out loud,
881
00:59:04,210 --> 00:59:07,547
instead referring to God
as simply "The Name"
882
00:59:07,589 --> 00:59:09,549
or HaShem.
883
00:59:09,591 --> 00:59:12,427
Like, if they said
His real name,
884
00:59:12,469 --> 00:59:14,113
their tongue might
fall out of their mouths
885
00:59:14,137 --> 00:59:18,141
or their vocal chords
twist into a knot
886
00:59:18,183 --> 00:59:20,727
and explode.
887
00:59:20,769 --> 00:59:24,230
That's how seriously
they took it.
888
00:59:24,272 --> 00:59:26,399
They took to using
descriptive terms instead
889
00:59:26,441 --> 00:59:29,402
to identify Him,
as we've learned...
890
00:59:29,444 --> 00:59:32,572
Adonai El-Roi...
The God Who Sees Me.
891
00:59:32,614 --> 00:59:35,909
Jehovah Shalom...
The Lord is Our Peace.
892
00:59:35,950 --> 00:59:38,953
El-Elyon... The Most High.
893
00:59:38,995 --> 00:59:43,083
El-Shaddai... Almighty God.
894
00:59:43,124 --> 00:59:46,252
On a lonely hillside
far from polite society,
895
00:59:46,294 --> 00:59:49,589
a kid who smelled like
sweat, wool, and mud
896
00:59:49,631 --> 00:59:51,883
came up with another one...
897
00:59:51,925 --> 00:59:55,345
Jehovah Raah...
The Lord is My Shepherd.
898
00:59:57,972 --> 00:59:59,516
Bold choice.
899
00:59:59,557 --> 01:00:00,809
Never was the phrase,
900
01:00:00,850 --> 01:00:03,228
"It's a dirty job,
but somebody's gotta do it"
901
01:00:03,269 --> 01:00:06,731
more befitting of an occupation
than that of a shepherd.
902
01:00:06,773 --> 01:00:08,650
They worked and slept outdoors,
903
01:00:08,692 --> 01:00:10,402
moving their sheep
to cooler pastures
904
01:00:10,443 --> 01:00:13,822
when the sun threatened to
kill them from heat exhaustion,
905
01:00:13,863 --> 01:00:16,408
sheltering their flocks in caves
906
01:00:16,449 --> 01:00:19,202
to protect from hyenas
and jackals,
907
01:00:19,244 --> 01:00:20,578
remaining hyper-vigilant
908
01:00:20,620 --> 01:00:25,125
to keep them from falling
into ravines or crevasses.
909
01:00:25,166 --> 01:00:27,711
It was not a relaxing
work environment,
910
01:00:27,752 --> 01:00:28,980
contrary to what
you may have seen
911
01:00:29,004 --> 01:00:31,965
in sentimentalized paintings.
912
01:00:32,007 --> 01:00:34,843
They did triple duty
as watchmen, defenders,
913
01:00:34,884 --> 01:00:38,805
and midwives, delivering
lambs from pregnant ewes...
914
01:00:38,847 --> 01:00:40,932
A slippery, messy,
bloody affair,
915
01:00:40,974 --> 01:00:43,768
and one that came
with stipulations.
916
01:00:43,810 --> 01:00:47,814
Every firstborn male lamb
was considered sacred
917
01:00:47,856 --> 01:00:50,692
and would be set aside
for sacrifice in Jerusalem.
918
01:00:53,028 --> 01:00:54,588
Even though shepherds
were at the bottom
919
01:00:54,612 --> 01:00:56,906
of the economic food chain,
920
01:00:56,948 --> 01:00:59,284
they did get one piece
of special attention
921
01:00:59,325 --> 01:01:02,620
from the highest
aristocratic class of priests.
922
01:01:02,662 --> 01:01:05,206
The priests furnished
the shepherds
923
01:01:05,248 --> 01:01:08,376
with consecrated temple cloths
to swaddle the newborn lambs
924
01:01:08,418 --> 01:01:12,589
as they laid in a manger
to inspect for blemishes.
925
01:01:12,630 --> 01:01:14,841
So...
926
01:01:14,883 --> 01:01:17,177
when John the Baptizer
called Jesus
927
01:01:17,218 --> 01:01:21,222
"The Lamb of God who takes away
the sin of the world,"
928
01:01:21,264 --> 01:01:22,599
he was simultaneously
929
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:26,478
foreshadowing a future
of sacrifice and atonement,
930
01:01:26,519 --> 01:01:31,358
while also calling back to
his Cousin's humble birth...
931
01:01:31,399 --> 01:01:35,904
the Lamb of God,
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
932
01:01:35,945 --> 01:01:37,864
and lying in a manger.
933
01:01:40,492 --> 01:01:42,327
It's almost like
Someone planned it.
934
01:01:43,870 --> 01:01:45,246
Now, when David first penned
935
01:01:45,288 --> 01:01:47,791
"Jehovah Raah...
The Lord is My Shepherd,"
936
01:01:47,832 --> 01:01:48,875
he went on to describe
937
01:01:48,917 --> 01:01:52,212
"the valley
of the shadow of death... "
938
01:01:52,253 --> 01:01:54,339
a dark place.
939
01:01:54,381 --> 01:01:56,633
In the years before the Light
came into the world,
940
01:01:56,675 --> 01:02:01,388
the people of God had become
like sheep without a shepherd,
941
01:02:01,429 --> 01:02:02,722
dying from the heat exhaustion
942
01:02:02,764 --> 01:02:07,352
of Rome's oppressive taxation
and brutality,
943
01:02:07,394 --> 01:02:10,355
their souls led astray
by hyenas and jackals
944
01:02:10,397 --> 01:02:11,981
dressed as false teachers,
945
01:02:12,023 --> 01:02:13,942
falling into the ravines
and crevasses
946
01:02:13,983 --> 01:02:18,238
of tribalism and division,
947
01:02:18,279 --> 01:02:20,907
untended in our valley
of the shadow of death.
948
01:02:26,663 --> 01:02:30,333
We needed a Shepherd;
949
01:02:30,375 --> 01:02:33,128
we knew that much.
950
01:02:33,169 --> 01:02:36,756
We just never would've guessed
that shepherds themselves
951
01:02:36,798 --> 01:02:41,469
would be the first ones
to find out He was here.

♫ Breath of heaven ♫
1001

♫ Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm ♫♫
1002
01:06:53,930 --> 01:06:56,516
So how I view
the story of Jesus now,
1003
01:06:56,558 --> 01:06:59,352
compared to how
I viewed it as a child,
1004
01:06:59,394 --> 01:07:03,189
I feel like they're
very, very different.
1005
01:07:03,231 --> 01:07:04,333
- A lot of it was wrapped around
1006
01:07:04,357 --> 01:07:07,485
the details of the manger
and the animals.
1007
01:07:07,527 --> 01:07:10,905
I think we had experienced
like a Nativity story
1008
01:07:10,947 --> 01:07:13,533
re-enacted in church
so many times.
1009
01:07:13,575 --> 01:07:18,204
- And inevitably I ended up
being a sheep or a star.
1010
01:07:18,246 --> 01:07:22,083
Not even the Star of Bethlehem,
just an ancillary star.
1011
01:07:22,125 --> 01:07:23,644
- All of our cousins,
we'd get together
1012
01:07:23,668 --> 01:07:27,380
and our grandma had a book,
the same book, passed it around,
1013
01:07:27,422 --> 01:07:29,299
and we read through
the whole story.
1014
01:07:29,341 --> 01:07:32,385
It had depth and meaning,
but it kinda felt fun
1015
01:07:32,427 --> 01:07:34,554
and just kinda something we did.
1016
01:07:34,596 --> 01:07:37,223
- I just categorized
that story of the Nativity,
1017
01:07:37,265 --> 01:07:40,810
there's Narnia,
and there's Frodo,
1018
01:07:40,852 --> 01:07:41,978
and there's the Nativity.
1019
01:07:42,020 --> 01:07:44,189
It's just another story
we can learn from
1020
01:07:44,230 --> 01:07:46,107
that's beautiful
and fun to talk about,
1021
01:07:46,149 --> 01:07:47,817
and I get to get gifts
because of it.
1022
01:07:47,859 --> 01:07:49,444
That's awesome, you know?
1023
01:07:49,486 --> 01:07:54,699
- There was this moment where
my faith was my parents' faith.
1024
01:07:54,741 --> 01:07:56,701
And then as I grew older,
1025
01:07:56,743 --> 01:08:00,747
obviously, there was
this invitation from Jesus
1026
01:08:00,789 --> 01:08:02,749
for my faith to become my own.
1027
01:08:02,791 --> 01:08:06,920
And so now the Christmas story
I think has become personal.
1028
01:08:06,961 --> 01:08:10,382
- And I think when you have kids
and you have family,
1029
01:08:10,423 --> 01:08:11,841
and later in life you realize
1030
01:08:11,883 --> 01:08:14,469
how messy the Nativity
really was.
1031
01:08:14,511 --> 01:08:19,099
- I am having my first child
and I know how I feel,
1032
01:08:19,140 --> 01:08:20,642
and I can only imagine how,
1033
01:08:20,684 --> 01:08:24,604
if I was having to deliver
that child by myself in a barn,
1034
01:08:24,646 --> 01:08:27,315
I'd not be so jumping
up and down about it.
1035
01:08:27,357 --> 01:08:30,360
So, scary, I think, for sure.
1036
01:08:30,402 --> 01:08:36,282
- Well, I grew up with horses
so I kind of have an idea
1037
01:08:36,324 --> 01:08:38,993
of what it smelled like,
maybe, in the barn.
1038
01:08:39,035 --> 01:08:40,304
- And it just hit me one day,
I was like,
1039
01:08:40,328 --> 01:08:43,915
"A manger is a feeding trough."
1040
01:08:43,957 --> 01:08:44,874
And you don't think of it.
1041
01:08:44,916 --> 01:08:45,875
You think of the manger,
1042
01:08:45,917 --> 01:08:47,061
that's where they
just laid Jesus,
1043
01:08:47,085 --> 01:08:49,504
but they laid Jesus
in a feeding trough.
1044
01:08:49,546 --> 01:08:51,297
- And I think that's
one of the beauties
1045
01:08:51,339 --> 01:08:54,092
of the manger scene
1046
01:08:54,134 --> 01:08:58,013
is that He didn't come
as some royal king.
1047
01:08:58,054 --> 01:08:59,431
Well, He certainly is
a royal King,
1048
01:08:59,472 --> 01:09:01,516
but the smell,
the odor, all of it.
1049
01:09:01,558 --> 01:09:03,601
I just think about
what it would've been like,
1050
01:09:03,643 --> 01:09:04,870
and I just think
it would've been messy.
1051
01:09:04,894 --> 01:09:08,231
And I love that He chose
to come into the world
1052
01:09:08,273 --> 01:09:09,733
in a messy place.
1053
01:09:09,774 --> 01:09:13,153
- As an adult, it kind of
becomes revolutionary.
1054
01:09:13,194 --> 01:09:14,988
All of the power paradigms
1055
01:09:15,030 --> 01:09:17,323
that we set up as humans
1056
01:09:17,365 --> 01:09:20,952
of celebrity,
or kings and queens,
1057
01:09:20,994 --> 01:09:22,328
the God of the universe
1058
01:09:22,370 --> 01:09:24,622
actually kind of flipped
the whole world on its head
1059
01:09:24,664 --> 01:09:29,044
and came in, in literally
the most humbled state
1060
01:09:29,085 --> 01:09:31,171
that you possibly could.
1061
01:09:31,212 --> 01:09:34,007
For God so loved you,
1062
01:09:34,049 --> 01:09:38,595
saw you as so valuable
and so worth it
1063
01:09:38,636 --> 01:09:40,889
that He didn't do away
with a world
1064
01:09:40,930 --> 01:09:42,766
that turns away from Him.
1065
01:09:42,807 --> 01:09:43,767
- I always believed in God,
1066
01:09:43,808 --> 01:09:45,685
I didn't know He believed in me.
1067
01:09:45,727 --> 01:09:48,313
That's what people must know
this Christmas,
1068
01:09:48,355 --> 01:09:53,151
is the God
who steps down into their life,
1069
01:09:53,193 --> 01:09:57,489
not stands up on a mountain
and demand that they reach Him.
1070
01:12:23,843 --> 01:12:26,054
We might see Samuel but...
1071
01:12:26,096 --> 01:12:27,639
it's been so long,
1072
01:12:27,681 --> 01:12:30,266
I don't know if he's
living in the same home.
1073
01:12:30,308 --> 01:12:31,226
I hope so.
1074
01:12:31,267 --> 01:12:32,894
You've said so much about him.
1075
01:12:32,936 --> 01:12:34,521
We will see.
1076
01:12:34,562 --> 01:12:38,066
We won't have any time to look
for him if he's not, of course.
1077
01:12:38,108 --> 01:12:39,108
We'll see.
1078
01:12:42,237 --> 01:12:43,863
Are we out?
1079
01:12:43,905 --> 01:12:45,407
Not even a drop?
1080
01:12:46,741 --> 01:12:49,536
Come on.
1081
01:12:53,581 --> 01:12:55,709
Um... Joseph.
1082
01:12:55,750 --> 01:12:56,543
Yes.
1083
01:12:56,584 --> 01:12:58,044
- Can you stop, please?
1084
01:12:58,086 --> 01:13:00,005
I'd like to walk for a bit.
1085
01:13:00,046 --> 01:13:03,299
- No, Mary,
why would you want to walk?
1086
01:13:03,341 --> 01:13:04,342
It's dangerous.
1087
01:13:04,384 --> 01:13:06,094
- I'm getting
a bit uncomfortable.
1088
01:13:06,136 --> 01:13:08,388
Elizabeth actually told me
it's good to walk and move
1089
01:13:08,430 --> 01:13:09,597
when I feel up to it.
1090
01:13:10,890 --> 01:13:13,935
- We won't have any water
until I get you to town,
1091
01:13:13,977 --> 01:13:15,395
you need your rest.
1092
01:13:15,437 --> 01:13:16,479
Ay, uh!
1093
01:13:16,521 --> 01:13:18,440
Let me get you
more comfortable, huh?
1094
01:13:20,859 --> 01:13:23,445
- Joseph, you don't need to be
the only one walking.
1095
01:13:23,486 --> 01:13:25,739
Plus, we're far enough away
from Nazareth
1096
01:13:25,780 --> 01:13:27,949
I don't need to hide
my condition anymore...
1097
01:13:28,825 --> 01:13:30,368
- Mary, this blanket is stuck.
1098
01:13:30,410 --> 01:13:32,203
There is no way
that you're comfortable.
1099
01:13:32,245 --> 01:13:33,455
Joseph.
1100
01:13:34,497 --> 01:13:37,417
I'd like to walk
with you... please.
1101
01:13:40,462 --> 01:13:43,840
- I am responsible
for you, Mary.
1102
01:13:43,882 --> 01:13:46,593
For you and...
1103
01:13:46,634 --> 01:13:48,303
You protect us.
1104
01:13:48,345 --> 01:13:49,471
Yes.
1105
01:13:49,512 --> 01:13:51,765
I know, I know.
1106
01:13:51,806 --> 01:13:53,725
I'll let you help me down.
1107
01:13:57,562 --> 01:13:59,898
All right,
1108
01:13:59,939 --> 01:14:02,150
you can walk
for a few minutes, huh?
1109
01:14:02,192 --> 01:14:04,277
But please, not too far?
1110
01:14:04,319 --> 01:14:06,696
You need to save your strength.
1111
01:14:06,738 --> 01:14:08,698
- I actually do need you
to help me down.
1112
01:14:09,949 --> 01:14:14,412
- Ah, ah, yes, ah, yes, sorry.
1113
01:14:14,454 --> 01:14:16,414
Slowly, slowly.
1114
01:14:16,456 --> 01:14:17,374
Watch the baby.
1115
01:14:17,415 --> 01:14:18,458
Okay, okay, okay.
1116
01:14:19,459 --> 01:14:20,460
You okay?
1117
01:14:20,502 --> 01:14:22,170
Yes, yes.
1118
01:14:22,212 --> 01:14:24,130
Ooh.
1119
01:14:26,257 --> 01:14:27,300
Hey.
1120
01:14:29,177 --> 01:14:30,095
This feels better.
1121
01:14:30,136 --> 01:14:30,970
Mm.
1122
01:14:31,012 --> 01:14:32,055
Thank you.
1123
01:14:38,186 --> 01:14:40,897
Thank you for protecting me.
1124
01:14:40,939 --> 01:14:43,650
I don't know that
I've said that yet.
1125
01:14:43,692 --> 01:14:46,319
- We have a little ways
to go yet;
1126
01:14:46,361 --> 01:14:47,821
let's see how
tonight goes and, uh...
1127
01:14:47,862 --> 01:14:50,865
- I'm not talking about that.
1128
01:14:50,907 --> 01:14:53,493
I'm talking about... before.
1129
01:14:55,912 --> 01:14:57,205
Oh, ah.
1130
01:14:58,707 --> 01:15:00,476
- I've been meaning to say
something this whole journey,
1131
01:15:00,500 --> 01:15:03,461
and I just... I didn't,
and I should have.
1132
01:15:03,503 --> 01:15:04,504
Mm.
1133
01:15:04,546 --> 01:15:05,880
- I should have months ago.
1134
01:15:09,175 --> 01:15:10,301
You don't have to.
1135
01:15:10,343 --> 01:15:13,471
- Yes, yes, I do.
1136
01:15:13,513 --> 01:15:16,516
You could have gotten all of the
bride price back from my father.
1137
01:15:16,558 --> 01:15:19,436
- It was never about the money.
1138
01:15:19,477 --> 01:15:21,563
I know it wasn't,
1139
01:15:21,604 --> 01:15:22,915
and I know it's not
polite to talk about,
1140
01:15:22,939 --> 01:15:25,108
but no one
would have blamed you.
1141
01:15:25,150 --> 01:15:26,151
For what?
1142
01:15:28,611 --> 01:15:30,947
For divorcing me.
1143
01:15:30,989 --> 01:15:33,199
Publicly.
1144
01:15:33,241 --> 01:15:35,827
- Mary, I...
1145
01:15:35,869 --> 01:15:37,221
- You could be
betrothed to someone
1146
01:15:37,245 --> 01:15:39,622
that you don't have to hide.
1147
01:15:39,664 --> 01:15:42,500
And people wouldn't be
gossiping about you.
1148
01:15:42,542 --> 01:15:43,960
And you could go be registered
1149
01:15:44,002 --> 01:15:46,254
without having to drag me
on this donkey for five days.
1150
01:15:50,258 --> 01:15:51,593
Joseph?
1151
01:15:55,722 --> 01:16:00,560
You are a brave man,
and you are godly,
1152
01:16:00,602 --> 01:16:03,229
and I should have
said thank you.
1153
01:16:07,359 --> 01:16:09,986
God told me to.
1154
01:16:10,028 --> 01:16:10,987
I know He did.
1155
01:16:11,029 --> 01:16:12,280
Mm.
1156
01:16:12,322 --> 01:16:13,907
- But you had a choice.
1157
01:16:13,948 --> 01:16:15,367
Ah, ha!
1158
01:16:15,408 --> 01:16:18,328
I don't believe that I did.
1159
01:16:18,370 --> 01:16:24,125
But I'm glad either way.
1160
01:16:24,167 --> 01:16:27,879
I wouldn't change
a single thing that has happened
1161
01:16:27,921 --> 01:16:29,964
since that dream, hmm?
1162
01:16:32,467 --> 01:16:33,426
Neither would I.
1163
01:16:33,468 --> 01:16:34,636
Heh.
1164
01:16:37,472 --> 01:16:39,432
Oh, this all
seems impossible, huh?
1165
01:16:39,474 --> 01:16:41,142
Yes, yes.
1166
01:16:42,394 --> 01:16:44,154
But remember what
the messenger said to me...
1167
01:16:44,187 --> 01:16:45,188
Hmm?
1168
01:16:45,230 --> 01:16:47,857
- Nothing is impossible
with God.
1169
01:16:47,899 --> 01:16:50,694
- My messenger didn't say that.
1170
01:16:50,735 --> 01:16:52,404
That would have been nice, huh?
1171
01:17:00,328 --> 01:17:02,288
Are you feeling better?
1172
01:17:02,330 --> 01:17:04,541
- A bit, yes.
1173
01:17:04,582 --> 01:17:06,793
- Okay, up, up.
1174
01:17:06,835 --> 01:17:11,297
Okay... okay.
1175
01:17:16,594 --> 01:17:17,595
- We need to move quicker.
1176
01:17:17,637 --> 01:17:18,596
You need water,
1177
01:17:18,638 --> 01:17:20,390
and I planned to get settled
1178
01:17:20,432 --> 01:17:23,309
for the part where your
messenger and my messenger
1179
01:17:23,351 --> 01:17:25,562
said the same thing.
1180
01:17:25,603 --> 01:17:27,897
"And she will give birth
to a son..."
1181
01:17:27,939 --> 01:17:31,192
"And you shall
call His name Jesus."
1182
01:17:31,234 --> 01:17:34,154
- Yes... that part.
1183
01:17:35,905 --> 01:17:38,158
[Come on. {clicks tongue]
1184
01:17:38,199 --> 01:17:42,871
♫ ♫
1185
01:17:52,881 --> 01:17:54,049
Halt.
1186
01:17:55,508 --> 01:17:56,885
Late night for a delivery.
1187
01:17:59,387 --> 01:18:00,930
- It was a long journey.
1188
01:18:05,393 --> 01:18:06,478
What have you got?
1189
01:18:08,772 --> 01:18:10,273
I'm sorry?
1190
01:18:12,692 --> 01:18:15,403
Oh, agriculture.
1191
01:18:15,445 --> 01:18:16,529
Grain.
1192
01:18:16,571 --> 01:18:17,739
Fruit.
1193
01:18:22,202 --> 01:18:24,245
- What am I gonna find
if I look in here?
1194
01:18:26,122 --> 01:18:27,916
- The best figs in the region.
1195
01:18:43,181 --> 01:18:45,100
- Didn't mention the fine goods.
1196
01:18:47,227 --> 01:18:48,895
I'll take a look
at your papers now.
1197
01:19:02,867 --> 01:19:05,328
Everything all right?
1198
01:19:05,370 --> 01:19:06,371
You look a little pale.
1199
01:19:13,169 --> 01:19:14,504
Here they are.
1200
01:19:35,942 --> 01:19:37,152
Hail Caesar.
1201
01:19:39,988 --> 01:19:41,614
Better not have skipped my turn.
1202
01:20:14,397 --> 01:20:15,982
All right.
1203
01:20:16,024 --> 01:20:19,069
I believe that Samuel's house
is through here.
1204
01:20:19,110 --> 01:20:22,530
I'm not sure how
he will respond to your, uh...
1205
01:20:22,572 --> 01:20:23,531
condition,
1206
01:20:23,573 --> 01:20:25,742
but we will have water,
1207
01:20:25,784 --> 01:20:27,118
and it will be nice to see him.
1208
01:20:32,374 --> 01:20:36,002
Actually...
I don't know if this is it.
1209
01:20:36,044 --> 01:20:38,838
It looks so different.
1210
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:41,216
Maybe because
there are so many people.
1211
01:20:42,676 --> 01:20:44,177
I think if we, um...
1212
01:20:52,727 --> 01:20:54,104
Yes?
1213
01:20:55,355 --> 01:20:57,857
- We don't have time
to look for Samuel.
1214
01:20:57,899 --> 01:21:00,151
- No, no, it will be fine,
1215
01:21:00,193 --> 01:21:01,695
I know you wanted to find him.
1216
01:21:01,736 --> 01:21:03,405
- I need to get you
to the inn, Mary;
1217
01:21:03,446 --> 01:21:04,656
you need your rest.
1218
01:21:07,742 --> 01:21:10,120
Maybe I can find a well
so you can drink,
1219
01:21:10,161 --> 01:21:12,247
and I'll take you
straight to the inn, huh?
1220
01:21:14,332 --> 01:21:15,417
Thank you.
1221
01:21:23,925 --> 01:21:25,927
- Ah, so many people.
1222
01:22:15,643 --> 01:22:17,562
- Are you lost, traveler?
1223
01:22:19,439 --> 01:22:22,525
- No longer,
for I have found the way.
1224
01:22:44,422 --> 01:22:45,757
Tychicus.
1225
01:22:45,799 --> 01:22:46,925
Lazarus.
1226
01:22:46,966 --> 01:22:48,176
It's an honor.
1227
01:22:48,218 --> 01:22:50,470
Your fame has spread
among so many of us.
1228
01:22:50,512 --> 01:22:52,389
You are very kind.
1229
01:22:52,430 --> 01:22:55,225
Paul says you are
brave and righteous.
1230
01:22:55,266 --> 01:22:56,643
- It's a pleasure to serve.
1231
01:23:01,064 --> 01:23:04,067
- There is someone very eager
for your arrival.
1232
01:23:04,109 --> 01:23:06,695
May I tell her
all is safe and sound?
1233
01:23:06,736 --> 01:23:08,029
Yes.
1234
01:23:14,577 --> 01:23:16,204
Come in quickly.
1235
01:23:54,743 --> 01:23:55,577
Move!
1236
01:23:55,618 --> 01:23:56,703
Ugh!
1237
01:23:56,745 --> 01:23:57,704
So this?
1238
01:23:57,746 --> 01:23:58,872
This is bull dropping here.
1239
01:23:58,913 --> 01:24:00,331
I don't like this, okay?
1240
01:24:00,373 --> 01:24:01,708
You're lying to me, huh?
1241
01:24:09,049 --> 01:24:11,051
Please, I beg of you.
1242
01:24:11,092 --> 01:24:12,510
No.
1243
01:24:12,552 --> 01:24:16,598
♫ ♫
1244
01:24:29,235 --> 01:24:33,573
- O God, you are my God,
1245
01:24:33,615 --> 01:24:36,326
earnestly I seek you.
1246
01:24:36,368 --> 01:24:38,787
My soul thirsts for you...
1247
01:24:38,828 --> 01:24:41,581
- My soul thirsts for you.
1248
01:24:41,623 --> 01:24:46,252
My flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land...
1249
01:24:46,294 --> 01:24:47,712
- dry and weary land
1250
01:24:47,754 --> 01:24:49,464
where there is no water.
1251
01:25:06,231 --> 01:25:07,440
Mary.
1252
01:25:11,444 --> 01:25:13,613
- Well, what did he say?
1253
01:25:13,655 --> 01:25:15,281
You won't believe it.
1254
01:25:15,323 --> 01:25:17,283
He said that
they are completely full.
1255
01:25:17,325 --> 01:25:20,161
The census,
the whole town is overrun.
1256
01:25:21,871 --> 01:25:23,206
Unh!
1257
01:25:23,248 --> 01:25:25,542
I think it's because, um...
1258
01:25:25,583 --> 01:25:27,002
ugh!
1259
01:25:27,043 --> 01:25:28,962
I think it's because, uh...
1260
01:25:29,004 --> 01:25:31,881
he knows we aren't exactly...
1261
01:25:31,923 --> 01:25:36,052
that I can't just give him
more money like the others can,
1262
01:25:36,094 --> 01:25:37,887
but he insisted
that they were full.
1263
01:25:39,931 --> 01:25:41,224
I was furious, but...
1264
01:25:41,266 --> 01:25:43,935
I kept my calm, like I promised.
1265
01:25:43,977 --> 01:25:45,228
Of course.
1266
01:25:46,104 --> 01:25:48,648
- I told him
about our situation...
1267
01:25:48,690 --> 01:25:52,027
that didn't make
a difference, either.
1268
01:25:52,068 --> 01:25:53,695
He just said that
there was nothing.
1269
01:26:00,618 --> 01:26:04,414
Finally, his wife said
that if we wanted,
1270
01:26:04,456 --> 01:26:09,586
we could try...
camping in the stable.
1271
01:26:09,627 --> 01:26:13,006
They promised us water
and blankets to help,
1272
01:26:13,048 --> 01:26:16,176
even lamb's cloths for the baby.
1273
01:26:16,217 --> 01:26:17,886
They promised that
they would be clean.
1274
01:26:20,096 --> 01:26:24,434
But I can go look for Samuel.
1275
01:26:24,476 --> 01:26:26,478
If he's living in the same home,
1276
01:26:26,519 --> 01:26:27,937
then he will have room.
1277
01:26:27,979 --> 01:26:30,398
- I'm sorry I slowed us down,
I should have stayed on...
1278
01:26:30,440 --> 01:26:32,817
- Oh, Mary, it's not your fault.
1279
01:26:32,859 --> 01:26:34,235
Joseph...
1280
01:26:37,906 --> 01:26:39,240
We can't keep looking.
1281
01:26:43,161 --> 01:26:45,080
- Have the pangs started?
1282
01:26:45,121 --> 01:26:46,581
He's coming.
1283
01:26:48,792 --> 01:26:49,793
Ah...
1284
01:26:52,629 --> 01:26:54,714
I'm sorry,
he said there was nothing.
1285
01:26:54,756 --> 01:26:56,591
I know, I know.
1286
01:26:59,260 --> 01:27:03,348
- All right, all right,
1287
01:27:03,390 --> 01:27:05,141
we will make it work, hmm?
1288
01:27:05,183 --> 01:27:07,852
- Yes, yes,
we will make it work,
1289
01:27:07,894 --> 01:27:10,397
we will make it work.
1290
01:27:10,438 --> 01:27:12,607
- We will make it work.
1291
01:27:15,068 --> 01:27:16,444
Woman...
1292
01:27:18,405 --> 01:27:19,531
Yes, Lazarus.
1293
01:27:20,323 --> 01:27:21,574
- I'm sorry to wake you, but...
1294
01:27:21,616 --> 01:27:24,869
- No, I was...
just resting my eyes.
1295
01:27:24,911 --> 01:27:27,956
- Are you feeling
well enough to see her?
1296
01:27:27,997 --> 01:27:29,416
She's here?
1297
01:27:33,336 --> 01:27:34,754
What are you waiting for?
1298
01:27:38,299 --> 01:27:39,926
Shalom.
1299
01:27:39,968 --> 01:27:41,928
Shalom.
1300
01:27:44,180 --> 01:27:48,226
Oh... how did they get you here?
1301
01:27:48,268 --> 01:27:50,603
- Our former zealot
had ideas and old friends
1302
01:27:50,645 --> 01:27:53,064
to get me to Tychicus
for the last leg.
1303
01:27:53,106 --> 01:27:53,982
I was safe.
1304
01:27:54,024 --> 01:27:54,941
- Do you need anything else?
1305
01:27:54,983 --> 01:27:56,109
Where is Zee now?
1306
01:27:56,151 --> 01:27:57,777
- Persia, Lebanon, Armenia...
1307
01:27:57,819 --> 01:27:59,279
all over the place.
1308
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:01,114
- I'll just
leave you to it then.
1309
01:28:01,156 --> 01:28:02,782
Let me know if
you need anything.
1310
01:28:02,824 --> 01:28:04,075
Thank you!
1311
01:28:04,117 --> 01:28:06,411
I came as soon as I heard.
1312
01:28:06,453 --> 01:28:07,829
It's just a fever.
1313
01:28:07,871 --> 01:28:09,122
I'll be fine,
1314
01:28:09,164 --> 01:28:11,750
I just had something
to share with you.
1315
01:28:11,791 --> 01:28:16,212
But first, anything to report
about our boys?
1316
01:28:16,254 --> 01:28:18,006
I don't want...
1317
01:28:18,048 --> 01:28:21,009
let's just talk about
what you brought me here for.
1318
01:28:21,051 --> 01:28:22,510
- I want to know, Mary.
1319
01:28:22,552 --> 01:28:24,262
I pray for them every day,
1320
01:28:24,304 --> 01:28:26,348
I want to know what to pray for.
1321
01:28:31,770 --> 01:28:34,647
- They're preaching everywhere,
1322
01:28:34,689 --> 01:28:36,524
and the Church is growing.
1323
01:28:37,901 --> 01:28:39,736
And the deaths of
Big James and Nathanael
1324
01:28:39,778 --> 01:28:44,324
seemed to have
only emboldened everyone...
1325
01:28:44,366 --> 01:28:45,700
especially Peter.
1326
01:28:47,243 --> 01:28:48,495
Of course.
1327
01:28:52,874 --> 01:28:55,043
- But it is getting
more difficult.
1328
01:28:57,253 --> 01:28:59,589
It's clear they
want us all dead.
1329
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:07,722
You can pray especially
for Andrew in Greece.
1330
01:29:07,764 --> 01:29:09,891
They say he will be
arrested at any moment.
1331
01:29:12,560 --> 01:29:14,813
- I will pray in earnest.
1332
01:29:23,697 --> 01:29:25,782
Do you know where Luke is?
1333
01:29:25,824 --> 01:29:28,535
- Yes, he's in Rome with Paul.
1334
01:29:28,576 --> 01:29:29,994
Can you reach him?
1335
01:29:30,036 --> 01:29:32,706
- If necessary, of course.
1336
01:29:32,747 --> 01:29:34,833
Why?
1337
01:29:34,874 --> 01:29:37,752
- He's been gathering
his record of the stories,
1338
01:29:37,794 --> 01:29:40,213
and we spoke,
1339
01:29:40,255 --> 01:29:42,590
but I didn't tell him
everything.
1340
01:29:55,186 --> 01:29:57,731
- Ah, there is enough wood here,
1341
01:29:57,772 --> 01:30:00,316
I can put something
together for you.
1342
01:30:00,358 --> 01:30:01,401
There's no time;
1343
01:30:01,443 --> 01:30:02,736
they're coming a bit faster now.
1344
01:30:02,777 --> 01:30:05,280
- All right, we can do this.
1345
01:30:05,321 --> 01:30:06,990
Try and see if you
can find a spot
1346
01:30:07,032 --> 01:30:08,074
to sit on this blanket,
1347
01:30:08,116 --> 01:30:11,077
and I'll put something
together for you
1348
01:30:11,119 --> 01:30:12,370
and clean up, huh?
1349
01:30:12,412 --> 01:30:13,329
Okay.
1350
01:30:13,371 --> 01:30:14,581
Okay.
1351
01:30:17,417 --> 01:30:19,127
- He needs a place to sleep.
1352
01:30:19,169 --> 01:30:20,587
What?
1353
01:30:20,628 --> 01:30:23,798
- When He gets here...
He needs a place to lie down.
1354
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,217
You make my bed...
I'll make His.
1355
01:30:26,259 --> 01:30:27,802
- Already a mother, huh?
1356
01:30:34,476 --> 01:30:36,144
Okay.
1357
01:31:22,315 --> 01:31:24,901
- My soul magnifies the Lord,
1358
01:31:24,943 --> 01:31:28,738
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior,
1359
01:31:28,780 --> 01:31:32,158
for He has looked on the
humble estate of His servant.
1360
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,119
What is that?
1361
01:31:34,160 --> 01:31:35,120
What?
1362
01:31:35,161 --> 01:31:36,496
- What are you saying?
1363
01:31:36,538 --> 01:31:38,623
Oh, nothing...
1364
01:31:38,665 --> 01:31:40,500
- Is it a song of David?
1365
01:31:40,542 --> 01:31:43,044
We could use one
right about now.
1366
01:31:43,086 --> 01:31:46,172
- No, sorry, it's...
just something to myself.
1367
01:31:46,214 --> 01:31:48,842
A poem you created?
1368
01:31:48,883 --> 01:31:49,843
- Yes, but...
1369
01:31:49,884 --> 01:31:52,012
When?
1370
01:31:52,053 --> 01:31:53,680
Several months ago.
1371
01:31:53,722 --> 01:31:55,598
- I would love to hear it.
1372
01:32:00,520 --> 01:32:02,105
Mary...?
1373
01:32:11,656 --> 01:32:13,867
Are you seeing this?
1374
01:32:13,908 --> 01:32:15,577
Mary?
1375
01:32:16,828 --> 01:32:18,121
Mary?
1376
01:32:25,503 --> 01:32:26,796
It's time.
1377
01:32:27,464 --> 01:32:28,465
Oh!
1378
01:32:28,506 --> 01:32:30,216
Come, I've got you... come sit.
1379
01:32:30,258 --> 01:32:32,344
- Shouldn't we call for help?
1380
01:32:32,385 --> 01:32:33,404
You've never done this before;
1381
01:32:33,428 --> 01:32:34,846
maybe the wife
could come and help?
1382
01:32:34,888 --> 01:32:36,139
- No, there isn't any time.
1383
01:32:36,181 --> 01:32:37,098
We've got this.
1384
01:32:37,140 --> 01:32:38,141
No, no, no,
1385
01:32:38,183 --> 01:32:39,976
I don't want you
to see me like this!
1386
01:32:42,771 --> 01:32:44,189
- Mary, look at me.
1387
01:32:44,230 --> 01:32:45,315
- No, no, no, I can wait.
1388
01:32:45,357 --> 01:32:46,441
Go get someone.
1389
01:32:46,483 --> 01:32:47,942
- Don't look over there, Mary;
1390
01:32:47,984 --> 01:32:49,027
look at me.
1391
01:32:52,113 --> 01:32:54,574
We are not alone.
1392
01:32:54,616 --> 01:32:56,701
I am so scared.
1393
01:32:56,743 --> 01:32:59,662
- Hey, remember what
your messenger said...
1394
01:32:59,704 --> 01:33:01,664
the first thing
your messenger said;
1395
01:33:01,706 --> 01:33:04,542
it was the same thing
my messenger said to me,
1396
01:33:04,584 --> 01:33:06,753
remember?
1397
01:33:06,795 --> 01:33:08,004
Don't be afraid.
1398
01:33:08,672 --> 01:33:09,923
Don't be afraid.
1399
01:33:12,175 --> 01:33:13,175
I love you.
1400
01:33:14,052 --> 01:33:15,428
I love you.
1401
01:33:15,470 --> 01:33:17,305
- Thank you for
taking care of me.
1402
01:33:17,347 --> 01:33:20,308
God gave you to me.
1403
01:33:20,350 --> 01:33:22,686
- He has been our help,
1404
01:33:22,727 --> 01:33:26,648
and in the shadow of His wings
we will sing for joy.
1405
01:33:26,690 --> 01:33:28,274
A song of David.
1406
01:33:28,316 --> 01:33:29,651
Yes.
1407
01:33:32,696 --> 01:33:34,322
- Can I hear yours now?
1408
01:33:34,364 --> 01:33:35,573
Not now.
1409
01:33:37,784 --> 01:33:39,160
- Oh, I know, I know.
1410
01:33:42,497 --> 01:33:43,415
It is time, yes?
1411
01:33:43,456 --> 01:33:44,541
Yes.
1412
01:33:44,582 --> 01:33:46,209
- Okay, it is time.
1413
01:33:53,591 --> 01:33:54,968
It's okay, I've got you.
1414
01:34:06,187 --> 01:34:11,067
- I told Luke about
the journey to Bethlehem,
1415
01:34:11,109 --> 01:34:13,945
and about how we couldn't
get a room at the inn.
1416
01:34:13,987 --> 01:34:18,324
But I didn't tell him
about my psalm.
1417
01:34:18,366 --> 01:34:19,868
Your psalm?
1418
01:34:19,909 --> 01:34:22,704
- When I went to see
my cousin Elizabeth
1419
01:34:22,746 --> 01:34:25,331
when she was pregnant with John,
1420
01:34:25,373 --> 01:34:28,501
she cried out when she saw me.
1421
01:34:28,543 --> 01:34:29,794
I told Luke about this,
1422
01:34:29,836 --> 01:34:32,297
how she was overwhelmed
for the both of us...
1423
01:34:34,758 --> 01:34:37,135
and she called me
the mother of her Lord.
1424
01:34:39,054 --> 01:34:43,016
And we were just laughing
and crying together,
1425
01:34:43,058 --> 01:34:46,019
and it was all too much,
1426
01:34:46,061 --> 01:34:49,898
and words of praise
just burst out of me.
1427
01:34:51,608 --> 01:34:53,693
- Please tell me
I'm about to hear them.
1428
01:34:53,735 --> 01:34:56,321
- You're going to
write them down
1429
01:34:56,363 --> 01:34:59,366
and deliver them to Luke.
1430
01:35:00,575 --> 01:35:02,243
- The materials are here.
1431
01:35:06,039 --> 01:35:10,627
I trust you to get them right,
and to keep it safe,
1432
01:35:10,669 --> 01:35:12,253
and to get it to Luke.
1433
01:35:18,927 --> 01:35:21,763
I've kept it all to myself.
1434
01:35:23,890 --> 01:35:26,309
As you know, I like to
treasure things in my heart.
1435
01:35:27,811 --> 01:35:31,064
I was shy,
1436
01:35:31,106 --> 01:35:35,902
and it felt personal
between God and me,
1437
01:35:35,944 --> 01:35:41,157
but... I wish I would have
shared it with Joseph.
1438
01:35:45,412 --> 01:35:47,956
And people must know...
1439
01:35:47,997 --> 01:35:52,210
these felt like God's words
as much as my own.
1440
01:35:52,252 --> 01:35:55,755
I can't explain it,
but they did,
1441
01:35:55,797 --> 01:35:57,340
and people must know.
1442
01:36:04,472 --> 01:36:05,932
I'm ready.
1443
01:36:16,568 --> 01:36:20,613
- My soul magnifies the Lord,
1444
01:36:20,655 --> 01:36:23,450
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Savior.
1445
01:36:25,827 --> 01:36:30,081
For behold, from now on,
1446
01:36:30,123 --> 01:36:33,626
generations
will call me blessed;
1447
01:36:33,668 --> 01:36:39,966
and He who is mighty
has done great things for me,
1448
01:36:40,008 --> 01:36:42,260
and holy is His name.
1449
01:36:46,056 --> 01:36:51,019
And His mercy is
for those who fear Him...
1450
01:36:51,061 --> 01:36:55,648
from generation to generation.
1451
01:36:55,690 --> 01:36:58,985
He has shown strength
with His arms;
1452
01:36:59,027 --> 01:37:03,990
He has scattered the proud
in the thoughts of their hearts.
1453
01:37:04,032 --> 01:37:06,993
He has brought down
the mighty from their throne
1454
01:37:07,035 --> 01:37:09,412
and exalted those
of humble estate;
1455
01:37:12,248 --> 01:37:16,628
He has filled the hungry
with good things,
1456
01:37:16,670 --> 01:37:19,506
and the rich
He has sent away empty.
1457
01:37:22,759 --> 01:37:25,845
He has helped
His servant Israel,
1458
01:37:25,887 --> 01:37:27,514
in remembrance of His mercy.
1459
01:37:33,061 --> 01:37:35,188
As He spoke to our fathers,
1460
01:37:35,230 --> 01:37:38,525
to Abraham and to
his offspring forever.
1461
01:38:20,608 --> 01:38:23,570
That's amazing.
1462
01:38:27,032 --> 01:38:29,534
It's like the song of Hannah,
but even more beautiful.
1463
01:38:36,207 --> 01:38:38,001
Oh.
1464
01:38:39,085 --> 01:38:40,211
Are you better?
1465
01:38:40,253 --> 01:38:42,005
Is this comfortable?
1466
01:38:42,047 --> 01:38:44,507
- Yes, thank you.
1467
01:38:44,549 --> 01:38:46,092
- Are you still in pain?
1468
01:38:47,969 --> 01:38:49,763
Yes, but, uh...
1469
01:38:49,804 --> 01:38:51,514
the blanket underneath
is helping.
1470
01:39:02,359 --> 01:39:06,446
- Oh, I don't know
how you did that.
1471
01:39:06,488 --> 01:39:09,282
I feel like my heart
is going to explode.
1472
01:39:09,324 --> 01:39:13,620
- Oh, don't make me laugh,
it hurts to laugh.
1473
01:39:18,833 --> 01:39:21,461
Hmm... He's so small.
1474
01:39:23,004 --> 01:39:25,090
- Smaller than I expected.
1475
01:39:25,131 --> 01:39:26,633
- I don't know what I expected,
1476
01:39:26,675 --> 01:39:28,218
but it wasn't any of this.
1477
01:39:29,678 --> 01:39:31,179
No...
1478
01:39:31,221 --> 01:39:33,098
from the beginning of it all.
1479
01:39:38,603 --> 01:39:40,146
So...
1480
01:39:40,188 --> 01:39:44,150
your messenger said that
He would be called holy,
1481
01:39:44,192 --> 01:39:45,652
the Son of God.
1482
01:39:45,694 --> 01:39:49,489
The prophecy mentions Emmanuel.
1483
01:39:49,531 --> 01:39:52,492
Are we going to stick
with Jesus?
1484
01:39:52,534 --> 01:39:54,828
Hmm...
1485
01:39:54,869 --> 01:39:57,789
I think we should.
1486
01:39:57,831 --> 01:39:59,374
- Probably best, huh?
1487
01:39:59,416 --> 01:40:00,583
- Mm-hmm.
1488
01:40:03,670 --> 01:40:05,547
He needs to sleep.
1489
01:40:05,588 --> 01:40:07,340
You both do.
1490
01:40:07,382 --> 01:40:09,592
Put him in the manger...
1491
01:40:09,634 --> 01:40:12,053

I want you to tell Luke.
1495
01:40:54,095 --> 01:40:57,098
I want you to tell him
about the swaddling cloths.
1496
01:40:57,932 --> 01:40:59,851
- You want him
to write about it?
1497
01:40:59,893 --> 01:41:01,561
People must know.
1498
01:41:03,688 --> 01:41:07,567
I want to honor the help
we received from the innkeeper,
1499
01:41:07,609 --> 01:41:11,321
but I also think it's lovely
that we used the same cloths
1500
01:41:11,363 --> 01:41:13,782
they used to wrap newborn lambs.
1501
01:41:15,450 --> 01:41:18,661
I wonder if God
gave us that as a sign.
1502
01:41:18,703 --> 01:41:20,163
It is lovely.
1503
01:41:22,415 --> 01:41:26,461
- And... there's something else.
1504
01:41:28,505 --> 01:41:31,800
Go get that box over there,
by the window.
1505
01:41:48,483 --> 01:41:49,776
Open it;
1506
01:41:49,818 --> 01:41:51,486
what's inside is yours.
1507
01:41:55,657 --> 01:41:56,783

- There's a rip here...
1514
01:42:16,511 --> 01:42:18,155
from where we gave a piece
to one of the shepherds
1515
01:42:18,179 --> 01:42:19,514
to dress his wound.
1516
01:42:21,349 --> 01:42:22,702
- Did you tell Luke
about the shepherds?
1517
01:42:22,726 --> 01:42:24,144
I love that part.
1518
01:42:24,185 --> 01:42:25,603
Of course.
1519
01:42:31,317 --> 01:42:34,696
- I-I can't; this is too...
1520
01:42:34,738 --> 01:42:38,450
- You can and you will.
1521
01:42:38,491 --> 01:42:41,453
It will be a reminder
of where all this began...
1522
01:42:44,122 --> 01:42:46,416
and how He was one of us
for a time.
1523
01:42:52,380 --> 01:42:53,631
- Thank you.
1524
01:42:55,550 --> 01:42:58,136
- I have loved you
like a daughter
1525
01:42:58,178 --> 01:43:01,097
since I met you at the wedding.
1526
01:43:01,139 --> 01:43:03,391
And you have done God's work.
1527
01:43:05,060 --> 01:43:06,561
I do miss Him.
1528
01:43:09,647 --> 01:43:13,109
And it seems like you'll
get to see Him before I do.
1529
01:43:13,151 --> 01:43:14,944
Shh, child.
1530
01:43:14,986 --> 01:43:17,405
This is not the end.
1531
01:43:21,284 --> 01:43:23,661
- I will get this to Luke
right away...
1532
01:43:27,749 --> 01:43:31,461
before anything happens to me,
or any of us.
1533

01:47:17,645 --> 01:47:19,773
The audacious
this-really-happened
1585
01:47:19,814 --> 01:47:23,276
miracle of God
taking on human skin,
1586
01:47:23,318 --> 01:47:25,862
arriving down at our level,
1587
01:47:25,904 --> 01:47:28,615
surrounded by straw,
barn animals, manure, tears,
1588
01:47:28,656 --> 01:47:31,618
a wooden feeding trough
for a crib,
1589
01:47:31,659 --> 01:47:34,746
frightened parents
way over their heads,
1590
01:47:34,788 --> 01:47:37,248
total strangers
barging in on the whole scene,
1591
01:47:37,290 --> 01:47:42,295
every detail so deeply human
and raw,
1592
01:47:42,337 --> 01:47:44,881
and He was willing
to go through it,
1593
01:47:44,923 --> 01:47:48,551
even the worst,
that would come 33 years later,
1594
01:47:48,593 --> 01:47:51,971
all for one reason...
1595
01:47:52,013 --> 01:47:54,724
to be with us.
1596
01:47:54,766 --> 01:47:58,186
It almost sounds
too good to be true.
1597
01:47:58,228 --> 01:47:59,979
And that's because
1598
01:48:00,021 --> 01:48:03,692
if there's one thing you
could say God is too much of,
1599
01:48:03,733 --> 01:48:06,903
goes a little overboard with,
1600
01:48:06,945 --> 01:48:08,988
it's goodness...
1601
01:48:09,030 --> 01:48:10,532
and truth.
1602
01:48:11,658 --> 01:48:14,035
What, then, shall we say?
1603
01:48:14,077 --> 01:48:17,288
What of names
of prophets, conquerors,
1604
01:48:17,330 --> 01:48:21,001
secret pregnancies
and surprise guests at a birth?
1605
01:48:21,042 --> 01:48:26,256
For we cannot but speak
of what we have seen and heard.
1606
01:48:26,297 --> 01:48:30,343
That we're not alone anymore.
1607
01:48:30,385 --> 01:48:35,807
Emmanuel, God With Us.
1608
01:48:35,849 --> 01:48:38,935
The messages we received
mean we are not hearers only,
1609
01:48:38,977 --> 01:48:40,854
but doers and messengers
of the Word,
1610
01:48:40,895 --> 01:48:43,481
proclaiming the news to
the four corners of the earth,
1611
01:48:43,523 --> 01:48:48,194
inviting all to come and see...
1612
01:48:48,236 --> 01:48:52,157
That the Word became flesh
and dwelt among us.
1613
01:48:52,198 --> 01:48:53,366
In Him was life,
1614
01:48:53,408 --> 01:48:55,285
and the life
was the light of men.
1615
01:48:55,326 --> 01:48:56,554
The light shines
in the darkness,
1616
01:48:56,578 --> 01:48:59,539
and the darkness
has not overcome it.
1617
01:48:59,581 --> 01:49:02,542
And it never can,
and it never will.
1618
01:49:02,584 --> 01:49:04,044
It's not that people
ought to know,
1619
01:49:04,085 --> 01:49:05,396
people could know,
people should know,
1620
01:49:05,420 --> 01:49:06,671
but people must know.
1621
01:49:06,713 --> 01:49:08,673
The wait is over.
1622
01:49:10,717 --> 01:49:12,093
We're the messengers now.
