Luke 2

A lot of people in America today have a misconception of what the meaning behind Christmas is. Jesus was born to save us all from the fallen world we currently live in.

Luke 2

 

He was born on a cold, dark night

To a virgin, godly woman and her finance

Quirinius was the Governor of Syria

Ordered all to register, first under his rule

Laid in a manger, wrapped in swaddling cloths

Oh King of the Jews, how You saved us

What poor birth You entered this fallen world

Come to save us all, that’s Your desire

Bethleham where You chose to first appear

Shepherds seeking the new born King

Giving glory above, news given by an angel of the Lord

The eighth day You were circumcised and called Jesus

Conceived in her womb by the Holy Spirit

Law of Moses had You brought to Jerusalem

The Spirit of the Lord let people know You were coming

Simeon was instructed he won’t see death until he saw You

Nazareth were You grew older and stronger, oh yes

The favor of God was upon You there

Your parents went to Jerusalem every year for the Feast of the Passover

Age twelve You were left there

Not on purpose, no, simply by accident

Three days search they finally found You there

Sitting, listening to the teachers, learning, asking questions

“And he said to them, "Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father’s house?"”[1]

No one understood what You meant, misunderstood like all of us

Submissive to Your parents and went back to Nazareth

You increased in stature and favor

Among God and man, while gaining wisdom

Your birth, in which to save us all

From ourselves, and from sin.
