THE BIRTH

LUKE 2:4-20

 

Key Concept:

The good news is meant to be shared.

After more than four hundred years of silence from God, an angel of the Lord appeared to the priest Zechariah, foretelling the miraculous birth of his son, John the Baptist, who would be forerunner for the Lord's Messiah. Later, the angel appeared again to Mary, foretelling the virgin birth of her Son, Jesus, Who would be the promised Messiah. A Roman census forced Mary and her husband, Joseph, to travel to Bethlehem late into Mary's pregnancy. To fulfill Scripture the Lord had arranged all these things - for His Son to be born in flesh as promised King and Savior of the world.

As you examine Luke 2:4-20:

 

✞   Identify ways Luke made the connection between Jesus

    and the line of David.

✞   Recognize that the shepherds spread the news of Jesus'

    birth, and all who heard it were amazed.
