Description

A Spoken Word

A Spoken Word video exploring the stories of Zechariah, Mary, Joseph and the Shepherds. To each, these words were given - 'Do not be afraid.'

They are words offered to us in Jesus.

Amidst the terror and suffering we may feel and see around us today, a 'jolly Christmas' may not fit. If we dig a little deeper into the Nativity narrative, we see four words that are fitting and filled with hope.

In isolation, they would be empty of meaning, perhaps even foolish or distasteful given the pain that surrounds us.

But they're not in isolation, these 4 words are spoken with the birth of a certain baby in mind. And that baby's Jesus - and that changes everything.
