The Eve of Jesus' Birth
Today is Christmas Eve, the day before we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I want to highlight a few of the scriptures in Luke for our meditation. What a beautiful time this is, when people of Christ celebrate with joy His first coming and look forward to His second coming.
Luke 1:26,27,28, 37,38, 46, 47
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth.
To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
A decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed and Joseph with Mary journeyed to the city of David, Bethlehem, to be taxed.
Luke 2: 6,7
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
The angel of the Lord appeared to shepherds in the field; the glory of God shone around them and they were afraid.
Luke 2:10,11,12,13,14
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
The shepherds went and they saw Jesus and returned home, praising and glorifying God for everything they saw and heard.
We also today should magnify the Lord and rejoice in God our Savior.
We praise and glorify God for everything we see and hear in the spirit. We are blessed as no other generation has been blessed. Much has been revealed to us.
LET US REJOICE!
