Pastor Daniel Batarseh leads a Christmas concert in Chicago, blending Arabic and English worship with a message on the incarnation. The service focuses on Christ’s divinity and His arrival in the 'fullness of time' to redeem humanity.

• 1Jesus is the eternal 'Word' (Kalima) who was with God and is God from the beginning.
• 2The birth of Christ was the fulfillment of specific prophecies given hundreds of years prior in the book of Isaiah.
• 3God’s plan for salvation was executed in the 'fullness of time,' demonstrating His sovereignty over history.
• 4The ultimate goal of the incarnation was our redemption and adoption into the family of God.
• 5Worship is a bridge that connects different cultures and languages through the shared story of Christ.
