"So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because He belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son." Luke 2:4 - 7



"Christmas is coming! The night that Jesus Christ was born, angels sang "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests".
The angels appeared to shepherds. Shepherds were among the poor of society -- they watched sheep and were out in the fields at night, not in their homes. But the shepherds had faith in God. The Bible says

"When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.' So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger."

The baby Jesus was born over 2,000 years ago -- but the great news is He is alive today! He is alive in heaven, where He is with God His Father -- and He is alive on earth in the hearts of all those who have accepted Him as Lord and Savior. Our time on this earth is very short -- but soon we will see Jesus in heaven, who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Let us worship Him this Christmas.
