    Contributed by Gregory Peterson on Dec 20, 2022
     | 1,664 views

    Explore some of the reasons Jesus was born, often teach our children that Jesus came, but seldom do we help them understand why He came. Perhaps we have never considered this or have come up with the idea this scripture presents but not the why. Explore that today.
