Nehemiah 13:1-31; Zechariah 9:1-10:12; Revelation 17:1-18
And Joseph also went up from Galilee…into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem. And so it was, that, while they were there…she brought forth her firstborn son. Luke 2:4, 6-7
What an amazing night! The Son of the Highest becomes Mary’s firstborn son. The holy One is born of the virgin. Emmanuel is laid in a manger, and the Lamb of God is viewed by humble shepherds. The glory of God shines upon earth, as the angelic host fill the skies with praises. What an amazing sight! —Pete Smith
Christ, by highest heav’n adored, Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold Him come, offspring of a virgin’s womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see, hail th’incarnate Deity!
Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Emmanuel. —Charles Wesley
