Luke 2 & 3 Christ Born of Mary

 

Luke 2 – Christ Born of Mary

 

Christ’s birth affected Ceasar’s politics, the ministry of the angels, and the activities of common men. In that day, shepherds were looked upon with disdain; but God singled them out to be the first human messengers of Messiah’s birth. His coming touched worshipers and even scholars. When Jesus was born in Bethlehem, deity invaded humanity, eternity invaded time, and royalty invaded poverty (John 1:1-4).

 

The angels sang about Him, a song of praise, peace, and purpose, and He is still the theme of the greatest music. Luke wrote about Him and He is still the subject of the greatest literature. The shepherds hastened to behold Him, and He is still at the center of the greatest art. Teachers listened to Him and marveled, and He is still the focal point for all truth and wisdom.

 

In His development, Jesus was perfectly balanced; intellectually, physically, spiritually, and socially; and He is still the greatest example for childhood and youth.

 

He alone is worthy of our worship! Oh, come! Let us adore Him!    

 

Luke 3- God’s Message                                   

 

God’ message came to John the Baptist, the greatest of God’s prophets. John’s ministry was foretold by the prophet Isaiah (Isa. 40:3-5). John was a prophet who was the subject of prophecy.

 

He was privileged to prepare the nation for the Messiah and then present Him to them. John preached against sin and told the people to repent. He gave specific instructions to his converts on how to put their faith into practice. He was inspecting fruit, getting to the root of sin, and warning about wrath to come.

 

The Son of God is baptized, the Spirit lights upon Him like a dove; and the Father speaks His approval from heaven. The Holy Trinity is always involved in your salvation (Eph. 1:1-14).
