The author is someone who has been struggling for quite some time to embrace the idea that December 25 could be the date that Jesus was born but could not consciously agree that was a correct view, until the Holy Spirit led him to the text of: Luke 1:26-38. After a critical reading of the text, the author was convinced that the date could be approximately correct. He is an ordained minister, and is serving as the Senior Pastor at Evangelical Baptist Church of the Redeemed in Medford, MA for over 24 years.
