Christmas and the Christian Luke 2:1-15

And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,

Luke 2:1-15 to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. 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. Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.

Luke 2:1-15 Now 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.

Luke 2:1-15 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:

Luke 2:1-15 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."

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ The common story VS the Biblical account. So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city. Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child. – Luke 2:3-5

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ Was Jesus born the same night that Mary arrived in Bethlehem? So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. – Luke 2:6

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ Did an inn keeper tell Mary and Joseph there was no room for them? 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. Luke 2:7

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. (Lk 2:7 NIV) and she brought forth her son -- the first-born, and wrapped him up, and laid him down in the manger, because there was not for them a place in the guest- chamber. (Lk 2:7 YLT)

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ Did an inn keeper tell Mary and Joseph there was no room for them? Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, " Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?" ‘ – Mark 14:14

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ Did an inn keeper tell Mary and Joseph there was no room for them? Then you shall say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, " Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?" '‘ Luke 22:11

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ What time of the year was Christ born? For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. – Luke 2:11

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ What time of the year was Christ born? There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. – Luke 1:5

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ What time of the year was Christ born? So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house. Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, - Luke 1:23-24

Misconceptions about the birth of Christ Timeline March – the beginning of the Jewish calendar May – Zacharias serves in the temple (Lk 1:5). After his service in the temple Zacharias and Elisabeth conceived (Lk 1:23-24). November – Jesus is conceived (Lk 1:31-36) August – 9 months later (from November) thus; Jesus was possibly born sometime in August.

Misconceptions about the meaning of Christmas so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation. Hebrews 9:28 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, - Hebrews 10:26

Misconceptions about the meaning of Christmas Now on the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul, ready to depart the next day, spoke to them and continued his message until midnight. – Acts 20:7

Christmas and the Christian

Is it sinful to celebrate Christmas? What is a big problem with this day? Some have argued that Christmas is of Catholic origin and to celebrate it promotes error and that the use of the term Christmas would show our support of the worldly view of that day.

“Jesus is the Reason” For Salvation For the hope of heaven That life is worth living But Jesus is NOT the reason for the season.
