talking about that. Why was a virgin birth so important that Mary had never been with a man? Well, the Messiah had to be uh perfect. He had to be the perfect son of God. And he also had to be human. And if he had gotten his humanity the way we get ours, he would also have sin in his life. So, he had to come into humanity without the agency of of a sinful human being.
And so he was born of Mary, but he was born of the Holy Spirit. Wow. So that he could be the the sinless son of God. In the nativity story, everything, all lives, all [music] story lines, all prophecy intersects in Bethlehem. Naturally, Bethlehem [music] served as the backdrop to David Jeremiah’s Why the Nativity docu drama film with a set of That Little Town created specifically for the film.
And in preparation for its [music] release, Dr. Jeremiah sat down on the set with Sheila Walsh to discuss how important [music] it is to keep Christ in Christmas this holiday season and for years to come. Every year, millions of people around the globe celebrate Christmas. But what does it mean? Hello, I’m Sheila Walsh and in just a moment I’m going to have the privilege of talking to someone who has devoted his life to the real meaning of Christmas and most recently with his film production about the birth of Jesus, why the Nativity, drawing from
both the Old and New Testaments, noted pastor and theologian Dr. David Jeremiah provides answers to our questions about the nativity and gives us compelling reasons to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Hello Dr. Jeremiah. It is so wonderful to be here. Sheila, thank you for coming to do this. This is amazing.
We’re on the Bethlehem uh Nazareth back lot of your brand new movie docu drama Why the Nativity. And I have to say I very rarely run out of words. This is spectacular. You know, Sheila, I’ve been in the real Bethlehem in Israel, but sitting here is almost more overwhelming than when I was there. Yeah. Because of all that’s gone in to make this as authentic as we could.
The attention to detail is absolutely breathtaking. Yeah. I tell you what, I couldn’t be more excited and more proud of our guys and gals who worked on this. Uh this has been an obsession with them for almost three years now and been through a lot of ups and downs and starts and stops but here we are. Yep.
We’ll talk about some of that but before we get to the actual movie this began as a book. Tell us about that. You know um every book is like an adventure. I I know you’re an author so you know what I mean. People always ask you why did you write that book? And if you stop for a moment and think about it, there’s always a reason. And this book started like this.
