Who was that Baby born on Christmas Morn, really? This is the Story of who that Baby was!

Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?

He is the one of signs, wonders, many mighty miracles, and marvelous works. There is no other that can deliver after this sort.
Who is the Fourth Man?
I tell you…
He is the God I serve! The Written Word of God manifested in the Flesh and Spirit!
He’s JESUS CHRIST, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS! He’s my Savior, my Lord!
