The Word became Flesh: The Big Story of Christmas - Plockton & Kyle Free Church of Scotland

We have seen the extent and gravity of David's crimes. Who pays? Who is punished for them? To some it may look like they are not punished. To others that the baby is punished for them. The truth is far more extraordinary ...
