The Birth of Jesus (Luke 2:1–20) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

The Old Testament prophets wrote of a messenger who would prepare God’s people for the arrival of the long-promised Messiah. In this sermon, R.C. Sproul looks again at the song of the Benedictus in the gospel of Luke to see this prophecy’s fulfillment in John the Baptist.

What a great blessing to hear Dr. Sproul bring the Christmas story in such a way that not only gives honor and glory to that moment in Bethelehem but opens even more our eyes understanding of such great gift. Praise God for ever and ever.

He entered His own creation. He walked among us. He sought and bought a bride with His blood.

The shepherd's excitement should have lasted their entire lives.

Finally, a perfect reading of Luke 🙏🏽

[mkl]

Today is December 24. Today is Christmas Eve. This passage from the Gospel of St. Luke is most likely going to be read in churches tonight. It can also be read on Christmas Day. Another Gospel that is usually read on Christmas Day is John 1:1-14. A beloved hymn that compliments this passage from St. Luke is "From Heaven Above to Earth I Come, " written and probably composed by Martin Luther (1483-1546). And here is hoping that everyone reading this has a Merry Christmas.

Absolutely beautiful and perfect timing for me. Too many people claiming Christmas to be a Pagan holiday based off the Winter Solstice or whatever.

“do not be afraid to embrace Mary as your wife, for the One conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.”

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:

“Behold, the virgin will be with child
and will give birth to a son,
and they will call Him Immanuel”e
(which means, “God with us”)

Matthew 1:20-23

As a Christian, it upsets me he doesn’t even give a straight reading of Luke 2:1; Mary was never called “the betrothed wife of Joseph”, he’s giving the Hollywood version!

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

Mary wasn’t his wife yet when Jesus was born, the real Bible never says that!

[fatbaldguy]

I NEED HELP, one of my newsletter I get from a ministry mentioned that JESUS was swaddled in funeral cloth. I have never heard that EVER, so please tell me if you have heard this before and what book, chapter, verse is it in ! Thanks !

[halaluyah]

Have faith in Messiah Yahusha and keep the Commandments of our Heavenly Father. That’s how we know we are in Him. Matthew 5:17-19, Matthew 7:21-27, John 13:15-17, 1John 2:3-7.

I notice he didn't cover the words of chapter 2 verse 10 where it says that the good tidings of great joy "shall be to all people". He couldn't cover the words "shall be to all people" because of his Calvinism. Calvinists believe that the good tidings are only for the elect. In other words the angels should have said "which shall be for the elect"! My Bible says "for all people"
