In those days a decree went out from
Caesar Augustus
that all the world should be registered.
This was the first registration when
Quirinius was governor of Syria.
And all went to be registered, each to his own town.
And Joseph also went up from Galilee,
from the town of Nazareth,
to 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, who was with child.
his betrothed, who was with child.
And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger,
because there was no place for them in the inn.
because there was no place for them in the inn.
Ja. How I love these "heilsgeschiedenis"
ReplyDeleteHello dear Sandi!
ReplyDeleteAmen. Have a lovely week ahead!
Dimi...
It's never too early to hear the Word of God. LOVE
ReplyDeleteWonderful no matter what time of the year!
ReplyDeleteThe inn would not have been a humble place.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it is ever too early to be remembering our Saviours birth?! The reminder made my heart happy today!
ReplyDeleteYes, Sandi, you are a bit early, but so what? It's wonderful to be reminded of this treasured story.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Yes, a bit early for that indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt's not that far away now! A good reminder of our coming celebration!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful passage, and one we too often relegate to December. Thanks for sharing it in October!
ReplyDeleteIt may be a little early but a story that never grows old and is good to hear any time of year. : )
ReplyDeleteIt's never too early :}
ReplyDeletegreat sharing dear Sandi!
ReplyDeletemore blessings to you my friend!
Isaiah has already said it: He will come and deliver you. Jesus Christ was born as our Savior.
ReplyDeleteIt's always appropriate to here of our LORD'S birth.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the scriptures may reveal that Jesus was born nearer to late September/early October than 25th of December. The main thing is that Jesus birth is celebrated by us every day of the year. Hallelujah, praise His lovely name.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that as well, Brenda. So maybe I got the day exactly right! Who knows? I think you are right. The main thing is that we celebrate!
DeleteAmen Sandi, we thank God for our Saviour Jesus being born. God bless you for sharing.
DeleteA portion of scripture we encouraged our kids to memorize moving up to Christmas.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to praise the LORD! always and every day!!
ReplyDelete♡
It's always good to be reminded of our Lord's birth. Like Brenda said, I too have heard preacher's say that December wasn't the month of Jesus birth.
ReplyDeleteI can read about this every month of the year. : )
