Sherly's Desk: Nighttime came and all the children gathered around
the fireplace. Momma duck
started telling Christmas story to them. This is the incident which took place 2000 years ago
in Israel. There lived a
young virgin named Mary who was betrothed to Joseph
One day an angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and said, "Rejoice,
highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among
women!" But when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying,
and considered what manner of greeting this was.
Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you
have found favor with God. And behold, you will be with child and bring forth a Son, and
shall call His name JESUS. He
will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God
will give Him the throne of His father David.
And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His
kingdom there will be no end." Angel
told her further that, “Holy One who is to be born will be called the
Son of God.” On the other side the angel of the Lord appeared to
Joseph and said, “Mary will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His
name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” And angel said further, as prophets prophesied, “…they
shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with
us." At that time Caesar Augustus ordered that all the
people of the world should be registered.
So Joseph also went from Galilee to register his name in the city
of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and
lineage of David. He went
with Mary. So it was, that
while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in
swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for
them in the inn. There were in the same country shepherds living out
in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory
of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.
Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior,
who is Christ the Lord. And
this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling
cloths, lying in a manger." And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of
the heavenly host praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the
highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"
So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven,
that the shepherds said to one another, "Let us now go to Bethlehem
and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to
us." Shepherds came with haste and found Mary and Joseph,
and the Babe lying in a manger. When
they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying that was told them
concerning this Child. And
all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by
the shepherds. But Mary kept
all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.
Prophets prophesied in Old Testament that the Messiah's birth would be in Bethlehem. Where we find this prophecy in Old Testament?
