The Christmas story doesn't begin in Bethlehem, or a stable, or a shepherds field. It begins in a garden where the man and woman walk side-by side with a loving God   In rebellion, the man and his wife defy God separating mankind eternally from their loving Creator.  But God wasn't finished with the story yet.  He had a plan to restore His relationship with us from the very beginning by becoming human and paying the price for man's rebellion.
