Proclamation:
"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. While
they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and
she gave birth to her firstborn, a Son. She wrapped Him in cloths and placed
Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn ... Today
in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ, The
Lord … Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to
men on whom His favor rests." Luke
2:4-14 (NIV)
Explanation:
These
words were recorded under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God by Luke, the
physician and frequent traveling companion of the Apostle Paul. Luke’s account of the birth of Christ had
been passed down to him by those who were the eyewitnesses to the events. (Luke
1:1-4)
Application:
For
a more complete account of the events surrounding the birth of Christ, one must
read Matthew 1:18 to 2:21 and Luke 1:26 to 2:40. AWAY IN A MANGER, The
Christ Child was placed there after His birth on that SILENT
NIGHT. However, it was not a silent night for long for HARK, THE
HERALD ANGELS SING songs of praise to The Lord. Their message was JOY TO
THE WORLD THE LORD IS COME. They probably praised The
Lord by singing HALLELUJAH, and if they didn't, we still should. O
COME ALL YE FAITHFUL, let us give thanks for THE FIRST NOEL, and let us
all sing and shout HALLELUJAH as we celebrate and commemorate the birth of our
Lord and Savior, Jesus, The Christ. A joyous and very MERRY
CHRISTMAS to all of you. May The Good
Lord bless each of you with good health and much happiness for the remainder of
this year, and throughout all of next year, and for all of the future years to
come.
