Read of the "good tidings of great joy", the reason for the season, and cause which brought "joy to the world" in the New Testament,(Luke 2:1-20, Matthew 2:1-2; 7-11).
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
3 And all went to be
taxed, every one into his own city.
4 And Joseph also
went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city
of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage
of David:)
5 To be taxed with
Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was,
that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be
delivered.
7 And she brought
forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in
a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn...
Merry Christmas!
