A Light Has Dawned: Commentary on The Christmas Story
There is more to the story than we ever imagined.
This Christmas, dive deeper into the story of "God With Us" with this commentary of Luke 1-2:40 from Joshua Brown. Jesus didn't "become flesh (human nature)" to payoff the Father for our actions; Jesus became flesh to remind mankind who we are, who we've always been, and what Father, Son, and Spirit really think about us. He entered into humanity's darkest places to shine his eternal light once and for all.
So many in the West has missed the truth of what is going on in the incarnation. The purpose of this commentary is to recapture the beauty of the story and help you understand what we're truly celebrating at Christmas.

It would take volume after volume of commentaries to fit the entirety of what is happening in the story of God and us, where it meets in Jesus, and even then we wouldn’t scratch the surface. However, after years of studying the Bible, the early Church fathers, theologians throughout the centuries, and teaching to the church family I’ve been gifted to shepherd, I’ve realized there are so many Bible commentaries that teach a Western-slanted reading into the original text. There are agendas at play that lay side-by-side with the inspired word of God. Of course, everyone will have their own views on topics that will inevitably bleed onto how they translate certain verses and their meanings, but in general, I have yet to find a comprehensive commentary that gives the more true, orthodox, and, quite frankly, Eastern perspective that the Bible was written in.
With this in mind, I set out to do a comprehensive commentary that peered into the truth of the story of God, us, and how Jesus fulfilled that story. This will be different, in some places, from a common commentary that you would pick up at your local Christian book store. However, I can promise that you will take from it a view of God (Father, Son, and Spirit) that is more and greater than you ever imagined was there; yet probably always hoped was there.
