THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST!
Luke 2:9-12, “And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.'”
In the verse above, Luke describes the scene of the BIRTH OF JESUS.
An angel of the Lord appears to a group of shepherds, and the glory of the Lord shines around them, causing them to be filled with fear. The angel reassures them not to be afraid and announces THE GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY THAT WILL BRING JOY TO ALL PEOPLE.
The angel tells the shepherds that on that day, in the city of David, A SAVIOUR HAS BEEN BORN. THIS SAVIOUR IS IDENTIFIED AS CHRIST THE LORD.
THE BIRTH OF JESUS IS A SIGNIFICANT EVENT AS IT FULFILLS THE PROPHECIES AND PROMISES OF THE OLD TESTAMENT REGARDING THE COMING MESSIAH.
The angel provides the shepherds with a sign to recognize the baby Jesus. They will find him wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger, which is a feeding trough for animals. This humble and unexpected setting emphasizes the HUMILITY and HUMANITY OF JESUS’ BIRTH.
Overall, this verse highlights the JOYOUS ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BIRTH OF JESUS, who is the LONG-AWAITED SAVIOUR and MESSIAH.
It also emphasizes the HUMBLE CIRCUMSTANCES OF HIS BIRTH and THE UNIVERSAL SIGNIFICANCE OF HIS COMING.
