THE BIRTH DAY OF THE KING
FOR UNTO YOU IS BORN THIS DAY IN
THE CITY OF DAVID, A SAVIOR,
WHICH IS CHRIST THE LORD. Luke 2.11
Luke 2.7 And she brought forth her first-born
son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke 2.8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flocks by night.
Luke 2.9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they were sore afraid.
Luke 2.10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for,
behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luke 2.11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2.12 And this shall be a sign unto you, Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Luke 2.13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Luke 2.14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Luke 2.15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known.
Luke 2.16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
Luke 2.17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying, which was told them concerning this child.
Luke 2.18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
Luke 2.19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
Luke 2.20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
Luke 2.21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
Matthew 1.21
And thou shalt call his name JESUS, for he shall save his people from their sins.
The angel which spoke to Joseph (Matthew 1.19 - 21) gave Joseph to understand that THIS HOLY ONE which would be born was of the HOLY SPIRIT, the HOLY GHOST, and of GOD.
He was instructed not to be afraid to take unto himself his wife, for she was indeed his wife, and she had not betrayed him. He had been considering putting her away "privately" for he did not wish to "scandalize" her. Legally he was MARRIED TO MARY, they were not just engaged as people do today - they were BETROTHED - which meant
they were LEGALLY MAN AND WIFE
As the Son of David, the Angel spoke to him saying
this was to be the Christ, the Savior of the world. He was to be the One whom the Lord had promised back when Adam and Eve had fallen into sin, and when God spoke to the Serpent, God declared that "I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Genesis 3.15
Every woman longed for that Promised Messiah.
And here it was T I M E.
Galatians 4.4 When the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law,
Galatians 4.5 to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
Galatians 4.6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Galatians 4.7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant but a so: and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
LEGALLY, THE BIRTH OF THE KING
AND THE DEATH OF THE KING
AND THE RESURRECTION OF THE KING
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST
SAVIOR OF THE WORLD
MAKE YOU AND I WHO BELIEVE ON JESUS
THE LEGAL INHERITORS OF
THE NEW TESTAMENT OF HIS BLOOD
SHED FOR US.
WE ARE ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY
JESUS SAID, WHEN HE TOOK THE BREAD,
AND THE CUP AT PASSOVER, BEFORE HE
WENT TO THE CROSS "TAKE, EAT YE ALL OF IT, FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
SHED FOR MANY FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS.
Matthew 26. 28
FORGIVEN.
REMISSION MEANS BEING FORGIVEN
Matthew 28.18 -20
Jesus came and spake unto them saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the NAME of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,
Teaching them to observe whatsoever I have
commanded you, and lo, I am with you always,
even unto the end of the world.
THERE IS ONLY ONE NAME.
NOT THREE
ONLY ONE.
"THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AND OF THE SON,
AND OF THE HOLY GHOST."
Jesus claimed to have LIFE
John 14.6
I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh
unto the Father, but by me.
Again, Jesus said
John 6.47 -48
Verily, Verily, I say unto you,
He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
I am that bread of life.
John 6.51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven:
If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and
the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give
for the life of the world.
Jesus was saying that His death would be
the payment for our sin. And believing on Him
is a simple CHOOSING TO BELIEVE
THAT HE HAS COME FROM THE FATHER
THAT TO BELIEVE ON HIM IS TO BELIEVE
THE FATHER
TO BELIEVE THAT HIS BLOOD HAS
COVERED MY SINS
IS TO BECOME
A CHILD OF THE FATHER
In John 14.7,8
Jesus went on to say this:
"If ye had known me, you should have
known my Father also; and from henceforth
ye know him, and have seen him.
Philip saith unto him, "Lord, show us
the Father, and it sufficeth us."
John 14.9
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time
with you, and yet hast thou not known me,
Phillip? he that hath seen me hath seen the
Father, and how sayest thou,
shew us the Father?
John 14.10
Believest thou not that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto you I speak not
of myself: but the Father that dwelleth
in me, he doeth the works.

John 14. 12 - 13
Verily, Verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me, the works that I do shall
he do also, and greater works than these shall
he do; because I go to the Father.
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name,
that will I do, that the Father may be
glorified in the Son.
He repeats,
John 14.14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 14.19
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no
more, but ye see me: because I live, ye shall
live also.
Acts 4.12
NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER;
FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN
GIVEN AMONG MEN
WHEREBY WE MUST BE SAVED.
