The Gospel Of The Messiah Part 8

INTRO: We are in the process of looking at the greatest story ever told. If I keep my introduction short this morning we can cover a lot of ground because I have preached through this material in the last number of Christmas days. We have looked at the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. But Luke will now give some more information. Since I have preached through this on Christmas days I want to cover this section in an overview style. It will give us an interesting picture we seldom get in Christmas messages. So let me back-track a little to give us the drift here. The conceptions of both John the Baptist and Jesus have been given to us. Then we have seen John's birth. Then we saw what life was like for Joseph when he found out his betrothed was expecting and we read of the angel's message to Joseph not to fear to take Mary to wife, and he did. Last Sunday we were given the account of the birth of Christ, which I said I believed took place in the lambing barn at Migdal Edar.
