CHRIS: The story of the birth of
Jesus. Can you imagine Joseph's
reaction when Mary came and told
00:01:58.81\00:02:05.35
him that she was pregnant? I am
sure disbelief, confusion, and
disappointment all in one. How
00:02:05.45\00:02:13.73
could this woman he was to marry
be pregnant? Could she really be
pregnant with the son of God? An
00:02:13.83\00:02:21.14
angel visitor came and shared
with him what we find recorded
in Matthew chapter 1:
00:02:21.24\00:02:27.71
Jesus, the son of God, with one
mission: to save. This is a
special word in the original
00:02:49.96\00:02:56.94
language, most often translated
"to save". However, in some
places, it is also translated
00:02:57.04\00:03:03.04
"to heal". Jesus came to save us
from our sin and heal us from
our pain. He would accomplish
00:03:03.14\00:03:11.52
this through his life on this
earth, and ultimately, by his
death and resurrection. He was
00:03:11.62\00:03:19.03
the baby who was born to die.
00:03:19.13\00:03:23.47
Shepherds gazed in wonder
00:03:29.57\00:03:34.58
While angel voices sing.
00:03:36.28\00:03:41.18
This night of
nights has come and brought
00:03:43.45\00:03:48.96
The world the long-awaited King.
00:03:49.29\00:03:56.33
The earth is filled with wonder
00:03:57.73\00:04:03.54
And yet the heavens weep,
00:04:05.14\00:04:13.38
For heaven's eyes can see
00:04:13.85\00:04:16.48
He was born to die for me.
00:04:16.99\00:04:23.53
Jesus, baby Jesus,
00:04:25.06\00:04:31.93
Is that a tear in Your eye?
00:04:33.27\00:04:38.27
Jesus, sweet baby Jesus,
00:04:39.54\00:04:45.85
You must know
You were born to die.
00:04:46.35\00:04:54.79
It must have broken God's heart
00:05:06.53\00:05:12.07
For the future You could see.
00:05:13.88\00:05:19.65
Yet He formed
the hands and feet,
00:05:21.08\00:05:25.32
Knowing one day
they'd be nailed to a tree.
00:05:25.95\00:05:33.19
So all the world could know Him,
00:05:35.56\00:05:41.30
A gift came from above.
00:05:42.87\00:05:48.88
For God so loved the world
00:05:49.38\00:05:54.08
That He gave His only Son.
00:05:54.48\00:06:00.79
Jesus, baby Jesus,
00:06:02.66\00:06:09.76
Is that a tear in your eye?
00:06:10.80\00:06:15.80
Jesus, sweet baby Jesus,
00:06:16.77\00:06:23.65
You must know
You were born to die.
00:06:24.21\00:06:30.72
So Jesus, thank you, Jesus,
00:06:31.65\00:06:39.03
For your gift of eternal life.
00:06:40.00\00:06:45.37
Jesus, baby Jesus,
00:06:46.17\00:06:52.91
It's for me You
were born to die.
00:06:53.34\00:07:08.69
CHRIS: The Son of God, the
Messiah, the Saviour. For
thousands of years, his coming
00:07:15.60\00:07:21.17
had been anticipated. But now
that he had arrived, no one
seemed to be prepared. No one
00:07:21.27\00:07:27.58
was waiting. There were no
banquets, no prepared
receptions. In fact, there was
00:07:27.68\00:07:33.31
no room in the inn. Joseph had
to stay in a stable, a barn, and
there in that barn, Jesus was
00:07:33.42\00:07:43.69
born. No crib. Only a trough,
a manger, for the Son of God.
00:07:43.79\00:07:53.10
Away in a manger,
no crib for a bed,
00:08:01.71\00:08:09.72
The little Lord Jesus
lay down His sweet head.
00:08:10.15\00:08:18.73
The stars in the bright
sky looked down where He lay,
00:08:18.99\00:08:27.47
The little Lord
Jesus asleep on the hay.
00:08:27.70\00:08:39.45
[Ooo, Lord Jesus asleep, ooo]
00:08:47.79\00:08:51.73
The cattle are
lowing, the poor baby wakes
00:08:52.56\00:09:01.10
But little Lord
Jesus, no crying He makes.
00:09:01.67\00:09:09.94
I love Thee, Lord
Jesus, look down from the sky.
00:09:10.25\00:09:18.79
And stay by my
cradle 'til morning is nigh.
00:09:19.15\00:09:29.70
[Away in a manger]
00:09:30.30\00:09:37.44
Be near me, Lord
Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
00:09:43.81\00:09:52.22
Close by me for
ever and love me, I pray.
00:09:52.49\00:10:01.26
Bless all the dear
children in Thy tender care
00:10:01.56\00:10:09.90
And fit us for Heaven
to live with Thee there.
00:10:10.64\00:10:21.75
Bless all the dear
children in Thy tender care
00:10:22.45\00:10:31.99
And fit us for Heaven
to live with Thee there.
00:10:32.36\00:10:47.61
[Away in a
manger, away in a manger]
00:10:49.94\00:10:53.31
CHRIS: Can you picture the
scene? Can you imagine giving
birth in a stable? And there,
00:10:55.78\00:11:02.42
Mary wrapped Jesus in his
swaddling clothes. God's gift to
00:11:02.52\00:11:09.96
this world. Snow was
falling down that night
00:11:14.67\00:11:17.64
With no place to rest in sight
00:11:18.67\00:11:21.81
Soon she would
bring forth a son.
00:11:22.21\00:11:28.35
The inn was full, so instead,
00:11:29.35\00:11:32.62
He was born in a stable bed.
00:11:32.99\00:11:36.36
And there, his
life had just begun.
00:11:36.73\00:11:43.20
How was she supposed to know,
00:11:44.27\00:11:47.50
As she wrapped him
in swaddling clothes,
00:11:47.94\00:11:51.24
That her
precious newborn baby boy
00:11:51.61\00:11:54.14
Would become a sacrifice?
00:11:54.71\00:11:57.28
He would run, he
would laugh and play,
00:11:58.85\00:12:02.58
But as a man, he
would bring the day
00:12:02.95\00:12:05.65
When for the world,
he would choose to die.
00:12:06.39\00:12:12.99
Mary wrapped a
present to the world
00:12:13.36\00:12:19.90
On that first Christmas morn.
00:12:20.54\00:12:24.14
When her baby was born,
00:12:24.41\00:12:28.14
Mary wrapped a
present to the world.
00:12:28.51\00:12:35.45
There were no
lighted Christmas trees,
00:12:39.59\00:12:42.99
Just one bright
star for all to see
00:12:43.32\00:12:47.76
The way to
Bethlehem that winter night.
00:12:48.00\00:12:52.97
Many gifts they brought to him,
00:12:54.27\00:12:57.54
But a greater
gift she gave to them,
00:12:57.97\00:13:01.31
For through her Son
would come eternal life.
00:13:01.68\00:13:08.88
Mary wrapped a
present to the world
00:13:09.28\00:13:14.99
On that first Christmas morn.
00:13:15.56\00:13:19.63
When her baby was born,
00:13:19.96\00:13:23.47
Mary wrapped a
present to the world.
00:13:23.83\00:13:30.77
Mary wrapped a
present to the world
00:13:31.27\00:13:37.38
On that first Christmas morn.
00:13:37.78\00:13:41.35
When her baby was born,
00:13:41.68\00:13:45.69
Mary wrapped a
present to the world.
00:13:46.09\00:13:52.73
Mary wrapped a
present to the world.
00:13:53.43\00:14:02.77
EMILE MAXI: Hi, my name is Émile
Maxi, president of the Québec
Conference of Seventh-day
00:14:11.41\00:14:16.52
Adventists. On behalf of the
8,000 members in Québec, I want
to wish for you and yours a
00:14:16.62\00:14:23.99
merry Christmas and a happy
new year. Joyeux Noël et bonne
00:14:24.09\00:14:30.53
année. CHRIS: A stable. A mother
who had given birth. A child in
swaddling clothes. But he wasn't
00:14:33.23\00:14:40.41
just any child. He was a king.
00:14:40.51\00:14:44.81
Mommies and
daddies always believe
00:14:51.15\00:14:59.16
That their little
angels are special indeed
00:14:59.49\00:15:08.10
And they could
grow up to be anything;
00:15:08.44\00:15:16.68
But who would imagine a king?
00:15:17.15\00:15:26.12
A shepherd, a
teacher, is what you could be
00:15:26.59\00:15:34.73
Or maybe a
fisherman out on the sea
00:15:38.07\00:15:43.51
Or maybe a
carpenter building things
00:15:44.34\00:15:52.38
But who would imagine a king?
00:15:52.88\00:16:01.39
It was so real when
the wise men arrived
00:16:02.06\00:16:10.30
And the angels
were singing your name
00:16:10.67\00:16:19.11
That the world would be
different 'cause you were alive.
00:16:19.61\00:16:28.12
That's why heaven
stood still to proclaim.
00:16:28.58\00:16:37.33
One day an angel said quietly
00:16:38.43\00:16:46.37
That soon he would
bring someone special to me.
00:16:46.80\00:16:55.41
And of all of the
wonderful gifts he could bring,
00:16:56.31\00:17:05.85
Who would imagine?
00:17:06.22\00:17:11.76
Who could imagine?
00:17:12.09\00:17:16.10
Who would imagine a king?
00:17:17.50\00:17:29.54
CHRIS: This child born in a
barn. His arrival, however,
wouldn't go completely
00:17:44.36\00:17:49.43
unnoticed. Shepherds came to
him, common men. Later on, wise
men came from the East. These
00:17:49.53\00:17:58.74
were outsiders. They weren't
Jews. And in those two groups
and their reception of Jesus,
00:17:58.84\00:18:05.41
there is a lesson for each of us
today. Each of us can come in
response to the call of Jesus
00:18:05.51\00:18:13.25
and receive the peace and
goodness he offers. Do you hear
him calling? Why not reach out
00:18:13.36\00:18:21.30
your hand in this Christmas
season and embrace the peace of
being in a relationship with
00:18:21.40\00:18:31.14
him?
00:18:31.24\00:18:32.81
Said the night
wind to the little lamb,
00:18:36.88\00:18:40.92
Do you see what I see?
00:18:41.12\00:18:45.05
Way up in the sky, little lamb,
00:18:45.29\00:18:49.19
Do you see what I see?
00:18:49.46\00:18:53.33
A star, a star,
dancing in the night
00:18:53.56\00:18:57.17
With a tail as big as a kite
00:18:57.47\00:19:03.54
With a tail as big as a kite
00:19:03.81\00:19:07.58
Said the little
lamb to the shepherd boy,
00:19:07.94\00:19:12.01
Do you hear what I hear?
00:19:12.21\00:19:16.18
Ringing through
the sky, shepherd boy,
00:19:16.45\00:19:20.22
Do you hear what I hear?
00:19:20.52\00:19:23.96
A song, a song,
high above the trees
00:19:24.76\00:19:28.23
With a voice as big as the sea
00:19:28.56\00:19:32.03
With a voice as big as the sea
00:19:32.50\00:19:37.41
Said the shepherd
boy to the mighty king,
00:19:39.01\00:19:43.04
Do you know what I know?
00:19:43.41\00:19:47.15
In your palace
warm, mighty king,
00:19:47.72\00:19:51.69
Do you know what I know?
00:19:51.95\00:19:55.46
A Child, a Child,
shivers in the cold
00:19:55.72\00:19:59.26
Let us bring Him silver and gold
00:19:59.56\00:20:03.23
Let us bring Him silver and gold
00:20:03.57\00:20:09.50
Said the king to
the people everywhere,
00:20:14.04\00:20:18.25
Listen to what I say:
00:20:18.55\00:20:22.25
Pray for peace,
people everywhere!
00:20:22.48\00:20:26.76
Listen to what I say:
00:20:27.02\00:20:30.46
The Child, the
Child, sleeping in the night
00:20:30.73\00:20:34.23
He will bring us
goodness and light
00:20:34.56\00:20:38.40
He will bring us
goodness and light
00:20:38.67\00:20:47.78
MANSFIELD EDWARDS: Hi, my name
is Mansfield Edwards, president
of the Ontario Conference of
00:20:55.15\00:20:59.39
Seventh-day Adventists. On
behalf of the 32,000 members in
Ontario, I want to wish you a
00:20:59.49\00:21:05.83
merry Christmas
and a happy new year.
00:21:05.93\00:21:09.16
CHRIS: Friends, I'm so happy you
joined us for this special
holiday edition of "Live
00:21:29.28\00:21:33.05
Healthy". I have the newest
member of our Live Healthy team,
Darlene Blaney, PhD in
00:21:33.15\00:21:38.76
nutrition, teaches at college,
and owns a health food shop and
clinic in Eckville, Alberta.
00:21:38.86\00:21:45.37
Darlene, I'm so glad that you've
joined us today. DARLENE: Thank
you. CHRIS: Darlene, holidays,
00:21:45.47\00:21:49.00
difficult time to stay on that
healthy path. DARLENE: Yes.
CHRIS: But you have some recipes
00:21:49.10\00:21:54.41
that you're going to share with
us today that are going to keep
00:21:54.51\00:21:56.88
us on track. DARLENE:
Absolutely. CHRIS: So what are
we going to make today? DARLENE:
00:21:56.98\00:22:00.52
Well, to start with, a hot fruit
cider. CHRIS: That sounds
wonderful. DARLENE: So, a very
00:22:00.62\00:22:04.05
simple, easyohrowogether recipe
that your company will love. We
will begin with two litres of
00:22:04.15\00:22:10.29
apple juice. Now, the nice thing
about this juice is that it's
unsweetened. Make sure you're
00:22:10.39\00:22:15.30
purchasing an unsweetened juice.
CHRIS: Okay. DARLENE: Okay? And
added to our apple juice, to
00:22:15.40\00:22:20.50
make it more of a fruit cider,
we will be adding some cranberry
juice. Again, try to read your
00:22:20.60\00:22:26.17
labels and choose one that does
not have sugars added to it.
CHRIS: Okay. DARLENE: And third
00:22:26.27\00:22:30.91
juice that we're adding is an
orange juice. So our unsweetened
orange juice. CHRIS: Wonderful.
00:22:31.01\00:22:38.12
And then are we going to spice
that up at all? DARLENE: We are,
with some whole cinnamon sticks
00:22:38.22\00:22:43.12
and some whole cloves. CHRIS:
Excellent. DARLENE: Okay? And
then we will just give this
00:22:43.22\00:22:48.03
a little bit of a stir and turn
our burner on and let those
flavours simmer through there.
00:22:48.13\00:22:55.77
CHRIS: Very, very good. DARLENE:
Now, I've done one ahead here,
and for a little bit
00:22:55.87\00:22:59.87
of fun, you can also add some
mandarin oranges. Just tear them
up into segments and then when
00:23:00.04\00:23:05.28
you're serving them a cup of
this hot fruit cider, just make
sure that you have some fun
00:23:05.38\00:23:09.52
adding in one of those little
orange segments for them as
well. CHRIS: Excellent.
00:23:09.62\00:23:14.29
DARLENE: You can give it a try.
CHRIS: Now, as I get a try here,
you've got another recipe. What
00:23:14.39\00:23:18.33
do we have here? DARLENE: Well,
what is a traditional dessert
you think of at Christmas?
00:23:18.43\00:23:22.83
CHRIS: Fruitcake. DARLENE:
Fruitcake. So I'm beginning
again with unsweetened
00:23:22.93\00:23:26.67
pineapple juice in here. Added
to this, we are going to add
some dried fruit of your choice.
00:23:26.77\00:23:33.58
Pineapple, mango, papaya. We're
going to add some raisins, some
dates, some cranberries. Really
00:23:33.68\00:23:42.52
make it your own. Whatever dried
fruit that you enjoy that is
natural. Cranberries, nice and
00:23:42.62\00:23:48.79
red, takes the place of our
cherries, those dyed cherries.
CHRIS: And I am noticing, you're
00:23:48.89\00:23:53.50
not putting all the sugared,
weirdooking fruits in there.
DARLENE: No, that's right. So
00:23:53.60\00:23:58.23
people who don't like fruitcake,
I encourage you to try this,
because it has a different
00:23:58.33\00:24:02.90
flavour. Some honey, just a half
of cup of honey is our only
sweetener in this entire recipe.
00:24:03.00\00:24:07.78
CHRIS: All right, so we're
really sweetening with the
natural fruit sugars.
00:24:07.88\00:24:12.98
DARLENE: Absolutely, that's all
it is. Vanilla, little bit of
cinnamon, a little bit of
00:24:13.08\00:24:16.99
allspice, and we have something
that is called egg replacer
powder. I just like to add a
00:24:17.09\00:24:22.89
little bit of water to that. And
then you just stir it up to
activate it, add it to our
00:24:22.99\00:24:28.23
recipe. And we will add some
flour, of course, to this, just
kind of we give this a little
00:24:28.33\00:24:37.24
bit of a mix here. Get your
flavours through there into the
juice of the dried fruit.
00:24:37.34\00:24:41.74
CHRIS: Now, Darlene, I can
already tell, this is not going
to be your fruitcake that comes
00:24:41.84\00:24:46.48
out like a brick. DARLENE: Well,
hopefully not. My kids still
like to tease me it's heavy. But
00:24:46.58\00:24:53.15
no, it is filling. It is solid,
filling, but it is a different
texture altogether. This is
00:24:53.25\00:24:58.63
something you don't have to have
sit and age for a long period of
time. CHRIS: Okay. DARLENE: So
00:24:58.73\00:25:03.30
while I'm just mixing this up
here, you can put it into
whatever pan that you choose.
00:25:03.40\00:25:07.94
Now, the flour I've added, I
should mention, I've added a
spelt flour, so people who have
00:25:08.04\00:25:12.77
a wheat sensitivity, the gluten
content of spelt is different.
And so this is a cake that maybe
00:25:12.87\00:25:21.92
people who have wheat
sensitivities can still enjoy at
Christmas. CHRIS: Okay, very
00:25:22.02\00:25:25.82
good. And you have over there.
DARLENE: I do. CHRIS: . some
demonstrations of what that cake
00:25:25.92\00:25:30.59
actually looks like once it's
baked and out of the oven.
DARLENE: Absolutely. So here,
00:25:30.69\00:25:36.10
I've taken it. You can do it in
a rectangle pan, you can do it
in a round pan. I like to slice
00:25:36.20\00:25:41.54
it up and serve it. The round is
excellent for Christmas gifts,
which is a lot of fun too.
00:25:41.64\00:25:45.91
CHRIS: You know, Darlene, this
makes me feel very Christmassy.
I just had some of this warm
00:25:46.01\00:25:51.28
cider that is delicious and not
that sugary cider and I feel
like I could have several cups
00:25:51.38\00:25:57.29
of this and still feel good
about living healthy and being
on the journey to health.
00:25:57.39\00:26:05.03
DARLENE: Yes. CHRIS: You know,
Darlene, I'm so thankful that
you've demonstrated these
00:26:05.13\00:26:08.50
recipes. If you're interested in
these recipes, I would encourage
you to go to our website,

00:26:22.98\00:26:29.98
Friends, God wants us to be in
good health. Darlene, thank you
so much for showing us how to
00:26:30.09\00:26:37.26
live healthy.
