In daardie tyd het keiser Augustus 'n bevel uitgevaardig dat 'n volkstelling in die hele ryk gehou moet word. Hierdie eerste volkstelling het plaasgevind toe Sirenius goewerneur was in die provinsie Sirië. Almal het gegaan om hulle te laat inskryf, elkeen na sy eie stad toe. Ook Josef het gegaan. Hy het van die dorp Nasaret in Galilea na Judea toe gegaan, na Betlehem, die stad van Dawid, omdat hy tot die huis en geslag van Dawid behoort het. Maria, sy verloofde, wat swanger was, het saamgegaan om ingeskryf te word. Terwyl hulle daar was, het die tyd gekom dat haar kind gebore moes word. Sy het haar Eerstelingseun in die wêreld gebring en Hom in doeke toegedraai en in 'n krip neergelê, omdat daar vir hulle geen plek in die herberg was nie.

Christmas is a time to celebrate the greatest gift of all, Jesus. Looking at the story of Christ's anticipated arrival at Christmas reminds us that Jesus came to be the fulfillment of God's promises and faithfulness. All our hopes and prayers are answered in the presence of Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us.

The Christmas story is so familiar to those young and old. The manger scenes, shepherds, and wise men are all a part of a narrative that has been retold for over two thousand years. It’s easy to think it has nothing new to teach us. Yet, the word of God is living and active - it works in us in new ways every time we digest it. -Vertical Worship
Our Christmas story starts with the angel’s annunciation to Mary and concludes with the visit of the Magi. In these reflections and applications of the Christmas narrative I will mostly refer to Luke, as his is the fullest of the gospel accounts.
Why was Jesus born? This may seem like a simple question, too familiar to ponder. But as you prepare for Christmas this year, take time to reflect on the deep meaning and purpose of Jesus's birth for your life, and for the whole world. This 5 day series was written by Scott Hoezee, and is an excerpt from the Words of Hope daily devotional.
