Luke 2:1-7

Listen to Luke 2:1-7

Jesus Is Born

1 In those days, Caesar Augustus made a law. It required that a list be made of everyone in the whole Roman world.

2 It was the first time a list was made of the people while Quirinius was governor of Syria.

3 All went to their own towns to be listed.

4 So Joseph went also. He went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea. That is where Bethlehem, the town of David, was. Joseph went there because he belonged to the family line of David.

5 He went there with Mary to be listed. Mary was engaged to him. She was expecting a baby.

6 While Joseph and Mary were there, the time came for the child to be born.

7 She gave birth to her first baby. It was a boy. She wrapped him in large strips of cloth. Then she placed him in a manger. There was no room for them in the inn.

Christmas Message Part 1 - Luke 1:26-38 and 2:1-7

Bill Luebkemann

We're truly thankful for this time together with you. This is Hope from the Word and that's exactly what we pray you're left with each day: hope! You know a lot of things are said and believed about Mary and the birth of Christ, but sadly much of it isn't true! If Mary was not a virgin and Christ is not virgin born, then why celebrate Christmas? There would be no hope of peace on earth and good will toward men if Jesus wasn't the Son of the Most High. It would all be a lie. But it's not a lie, it's the truth, and today we'll explore the historical record in the gospel of Luke when Mary receives the angelic announcement concerning our Savior's birth. Here's Pastor Bill Luebkemann...
