About this sermon

How many Christmas cards and nativity scenes have you seen presenting the baby Jesus as soft and saccharine? Well, that’s not how the Bible describes him. There, Jesus is presented as a warrior king, who came with a heavenly army to battle against the dark powers of the world. Watch this video to discover the real meaning of Christmas, and the extraordinary infant king at its center. (Watch more videos from Bishop Barron: http://bit.ly/barron-yt)
