of his incarnation the mystery of godliness god was manifest in the flesh 1 tim 31c for the birth of marys child was the fulfillment of the promise given when the archdeceiver was put under the curse in eden at bethle- at long last in davids city he had been born who was- to be the saviour of all who would avail themselves of his grace christ that is messiah the anointed of jehovah the lord of all verse 12 ye shall find the babe lying in a manger not in some royal palace or a rich mans man sion was the saviour to be found but in a stable probably a cave cut in the limestone rock- lying in a manger where the cattle had fed what lowliness was thus manifest ed in his birth which as one of our poets has said would no glory borrow no majesty from earth verse 13 a multitude of the heavenly host the announcing in was hem the seed of- the woman came angel was ho longer alone but a as a babe into the world toaccomlvast throng of these glorious beings plish the work of our redemption joined

plain declar ation of the word of god without question because all are in perfect harmony with his revealed purpose faith receives without difficulty where mere human reason refuses to accept without full explanation when we realize- that god was in christ reconciling the world unto himself 2 cor 519 we bow in adoration and thanksgiving before the babe in bethlehems manger knowing that in him we see the manifestation of divine love inter vening on behalf of sinful man mary wasnot the mother of god as romanists declare but she was the chosenvessel to be the mother of the humanity of him who isboth god and man in one blessed and glorious person bethlehem thus be came the preparation for calvary where 4he work of redemption was accomplished vcrsc by vero luke 21 there went out a decree from caesar augustus that all the world should be taxed this was gods way of overruling in the affairs of the nations so as to bring mary and joseph to batnlehem their native city in accordance with the prophecy uttered by micah seven- centuries before it came to pass mic 52 by the decree of augustus practically the whole world was set in motion and gods word was fulfilled to the letter verse 2 the taxing was first madewhen cyrenius was governor of syria some years ago biblical critics thought they had found a discrepancy here as there was a record of this man being appointed ruler of syria a number of years later but further investigation brought to light the fact that he had also held the governorship before at the very time indicated here verse 3 every one into his own city this was the provision that obliged mary and joseph to go to bethlehem at what might have seemed to both a most inconvenient time verse 4 joseph was of the house and lineage of david in fact had things been in order in israel joseph would have been heir to the throne of david as his genealogy in matthew 1 makes clear verse 5 mary his espoused wife while joseph cared for and threw the mantle of his protection about mary she remained a virgin although an expectant mother matthews account corroborates this verse 6 while they were there the oiiys were accomplished thus 1 the word of prophecy was fulfilled that which had been foreordained of god so long before came to pass in his due time verse 7 she brought forth her firstborn son and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn to what depths of humiliation had the eternal son of god stooped he who created all things chose to be born in a stable and cradled in a manger doubtless those better able to pay for accommodations than joseph and mary filled every available space in the inn there was no room there for the saviour of the world verse 8 there were shep herds keeping watch over their flock by night these lowly men were destined to be the first to get the glad news of the redeemers birth he who is himself the shep herd of israel psa 80 1 23 1 and who declared himself to be the good shepherd who came to lay down his life for the sheep john 10 11 14 fllsewhere as the risen one he is esignated the great shepherd heb 1320 and as the coming one the chief shepherd 1 pet 5 4 how fitting it was that his advent should first be announced to men who were engaged in guarding their flocks of sheep verse 9 the angel of the lord came upon them and the glory of the lord shone round about them it must- have been a scene of in comparable splendor so marvelous was it that the simple men were filled for the moment with terror not comprehending what was actually taking place verse 10fear not for behold i bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people it was a message of comfort and good cheer that the heavenly visitor brought as he announced the- com ing into the world of him who was to bring blessing to untold millions of people verse 11 unto you is born a saviour christ- the lord mlcahs prophecy had been fulfilled intervened on mans behalf verse 14 glory to god in the highest and on earth peace good will toward men some render it to men of good will and it is true that it is only such who really enjoy the peace of heart that jesus christ givesto all who follow him but it is to sinfid menhitherto in rebellion against god that he offers peace through the sacrifice his son has made he came seeking sinners and therefore the authorized version here seems more in accord with the gospel message the heart of the lesson the angels message as heard by the shepherds on the hillside near bethlehem- that first christmas night was the proclamation of gods good will to sinful men offering them peace through the one who had come from the glory that he had with the father before the world was john 175 and united our humanity with his eternal deity in order that- he
