Luke 2:1-7

Listen to Luke 2:1-7

1 At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire.

2 (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.)

3 All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census.

4 And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee.

5 He took with him Mary, his fiancée, who was now obviously pregnant.

6 And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born.

7 She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.

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.
