Christmas Service: How Far Is It to Bethlehem?

A service recorded by Christians in Bethlehem especially for Radio 4. Preacher: The Rev'd Dr Jack Sara, President of Bethlehem Bible College and a pastor of the Jerusalem Alliance Church, who was born and raised in the Old City of Jerusalem. The life of Jesus comes alive to visitors and residents of the Holy Land alike. Members of the college tell the story of Christmas Day from the sites where they believe the events might well have taken place; the birth in a humble dwelling, the shepherds' vision of angels on the hillside. They also speak of the importance of reconciliation in the Holy Land, a major part of the ministry of Bethlehem Bible College. With music from Bethlehem Bible College and Christian traditions around the world
