God requires faith from His children (John 1:12). It was also a requirement for those individuals directly involved in the Christmas story. The purpose of these “Christmas Comes to Nazareth” studies is to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of what their faith caused them to do as well as how much their faith cost them. Included in this Christmas Comes to Nazareth Bible study is a fictional story with the same title. The story combines the information discussed in the Bible into a narrative that presents the events around the biblical Christmas as it might have been experienced by Mary’s father, Jesus’ grandfather. Mary’s father was certainly involved in all the events that surround the birth of Jesus at least in a physical and emotional way. What would it have been like for him to experience with his daughter the betrothal to Joseph, the virgin birth in Bethlehem and their later return to Nazareth? The story concludes with a possible description of how his experience with the Child, Jesus, changed his life. That would have been the time when Christmas came to Nazareth.The SETTING THE HEART Bible study series addresses questions with questions. The art of interview includes questioning the one of interest. The first-hand information in the Holy Bible gives a balanced perspective of the One being studied. Randall Grabau gives the reader the benefit of his own questions regarding God’s being and our relationship to Him.
