The Trial of Messiah's birth and the Glory of God.
By One for Israel Ministry
“While they were there in Bethlehem, the time came for
her to give birth, and she gave birth to her Son, her firstborn; and she
wrapped Him in swaddling cloths and laid Him in a manger, because there was no
private room for them in the inn.
“In the same region there were shepherds staying out in
the fields keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood
before, and the glory of the Lord flashed and shone around them, and they were
terribly frightened.
But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for beyond,
I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all people. For this day in the city of David there has
been born for you’re a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord the Messiah.
“And this will be a sign for you by which you will
recognise Him; you will find a Baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a
manger. Then suddenly there appeared
with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host angelic army praising God and saying,
‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among men with whom He
is well pleased.’” Luke 2:6-14
No wonder the angels sang, and the shepherds and Magi came
to worship our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ!
The reason for this season is beyond our understanding …yet it sits
soundly and surely in our hearts. Hallelujah!
