Luke 2:1-7

Listen to Luke 2:1-7

The Birth of Jesus

1 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world.

2 (This was the first census that took place while^[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.)

3 And everyone went to their own town to register.

4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David.

5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,

7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room 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.
