Jesus Christ: The Second Adam:
Luke 2:1-24:
"At
that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be
taken throughout the Roman Empire. (This was the first census taken
when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) All returned to their own
ancestral towns to register for this census. And because Joseph was a
descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David's
ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in
Galilee. He took with him Mary, his fiancee, who was now obviously
pregnant. And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be
born. She gave birth to her first child a son. She wrapped him snugly
in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no
lodging available for them.
That
night there, were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding
their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among
them, and the radiance of the Lord's glory surrounded them. They were
terrified, but the angel reassured them. "Don't be afraid!" he said.
"I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The
Savior - yes, the Messiah, the Lord - has been born today in Bethlehem,
the city of David! And you will recognize him this sign: You will find a
baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger."
Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others - the armies of heaven - praising God and saying,
"Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased."
When
the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other,
"Let's go to Bethlehem! Let's see this thing that has happened, which
the Lord has told us about."
They
hurried to the village and found Mary, and Joseph. And there was the
baby, lying in the manger. After seeing him, the shepherds told
everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about
this child. All who heard the shepherd's story were astonished, but
Mary kept all theses things in her heart and thought about them often.
The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for
all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.
Eight
days later, when the baby was circumcised, he was named Jesus, the name
given him by the angel even before he was conceived.
Then
it was time for their purification offering, as required by the law of
Moses after the birth of a child; so his parents too him to Jerusalem to
present him to the Lord. The law of the Lord says, "If a woman's first
child is a boy, he must be dedicated to the LORD." So they offered the
sacrifice required in the law of the Lord - "either a pair of
turtledoves or two young pigeons."
