Luke 2: 1-7
And it came to pass in those
days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world
should be taxed. (2) (And
this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
(3) And all went to be taxed, everyone
into his own city (4) And Joseph also
went up
from Galilee,
out of the city of Nazereth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called
Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) (5) To be taxed with Mary his espoused
wife, being great with child.
(6) And so it was,
that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she
should be delivered.
(7) And
she brought forth her first-born son, and wrapped him in
swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no
room for them in the inn.
Matthew 2: 1-2
Now when Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men
from the east to Jerusalem,
(2) Saying, Where is he
that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the
east , and are come to worship him.
Luke 2: 8-12
And There were in the same
country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their
flock by night (9) And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
(10) And the angel said unto
them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall
be to all people. (11) For unto you is born this day in the city of David
a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. (12)
And this shall be a sign
unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
(13) And suddenly there
was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
(14) Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, and good will toward men.
(15) And it came to
pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the
shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath
made known unto us.
(16) And they came with
haste, and found Mary, and Joseph,
and the babe lying in a manger. (17) And when they had seen it, they made
known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
(18) And all they that
heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
(!9) But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
(20)
And the shepherds returned, glorifying
and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen,
as it was told unto them.
This Year as you celebrate
Christ's birthday, when you look at your tree Try looking at it a
little differently this year.. When you see a tree remember a
cross..
When
you
see the gifts remember the giver of gifts and remember the
greatest gift ever given to man in the gift of God's Son to all
mankind..
When you look at the lights,
remember How Christ has lighted your walk through a dark world..
When you look at the evergreen remember
everlasting
life in Christ Jesus.. When you see the differently colored
lights, remember Christ is the Savior for all people everywhere and
to all that will accept Him as their personal Savior..
Christmas is not the gifts we will receive but
rather is the gift we have already been given.. Without the
virgin birth, our Savior would be just another man, but you and I
know He was the son of man and also the Son of God.. On His
mother's side He was thirty three but on His Father's side He is
the Alpha and the Omega..
Merry Christmas
