Luke 1:77 Jesus was sent to give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of sins.
Luke 1:78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us.
Luke 1:79 To give light to them that sit
in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of
peace.
Luke 2: 24
Mary and Joseph came to offer a sacrifice according to that which is
said in the law of the Lord, a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons. This was a poor man's offering . A more prosperous man would have sacrificed a
lamb.
Jesus came poor that through Him we could become
rich. He suffered poverty for us all
for in one way or another we are all poor.
Mary and Joseph held the lamb.
They couldn't have brought another lamb.
He was the lamb of God given for the sins of the world.
The first Christmas present was brought by the magi
to the manger. They started the art of
giving.
On Christmas Day two thousand years ago, the birth
of a tiny baby in an obscure village in the Middle East was God's supreme
triumph of good over evil.
