Matt Fleming: On Christmas, let’s thank Jesus

The birth, life and death of Jesus Christ two thousand years ago changed the world – this is true whether you believe his story or not.

For the record, I believe it but I am sympathetic to those who struggle to join me. After all, it’s hard to believe – there’s not really another story like it in human history.

The story goes something like this: God, in an effort to make Himself more relatable to humans, whom He created, came down from heaven in the form of the Holy Spirit to impregnate a poor virgin named Mary.
