Bethlehem - North Oak

What parts of Jesus' birth hold significance for Jesus' life? What were the expectations of Jesus' life? Both Mary and Joseph's lineage could be traced back to King David. Jesus was Messiah, but not in the way people expected. All of us are formed by the places we are from. Jesus was born in a surprising place to a surprising couple. Following Jesus requires that we remain open to God's way and not our own way. Jesus is the savior, and Jesus is a savior in unexpected ways.
