Luke 2:10

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 2:1-99

Luke 2 THE OPENING VERSE of this chapter shows how God may use the great ones of the earth, all unconsciously to themselves, for the accomplishing of His designs. The case here is the more remarkable inasmuch as the decree of Augustus was not carried out immediately but delayed until Cyrenius was governor of Syria. Prophecy however had indicated Bethlehem as the birthplace of the Messiah, and the decree of the Emperor came just at the right time to send Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem, though... read more

The message to the shepherds: v. 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. v. 9. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. v. 10. And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. v. 11.

Luke SHEPHERDS AND ANGELS Luk_2:8 - Luk_2:20 . The central portion of this passage is, of course, the angels’ message and song, the former of which proclaims the transcendent fact of the Incarnation, and the latter hymns its blessed results. But, subsidiary to these, the silent vision which preceded them and the visit to Bethlehem which followed are to be noted. Taken together, they cast varying gleams on the great fact of the birth of Jesus Christ. Why should there be a miraculous... read more

the Savior of Mankind Is Born Luke 2:1-14 The manger bed and its precious occupant are among the most cherished memories of our childhood; but as we come there in later life, the wonder ever grows. “Great is the mystery of godliness; God was manifest in the flesh,” 1 Timothy 3:16 . What company we meet there! Shepherds with their naive wonder; angels from the realms of glory; wise men with their gifts; aged saints like Simeon and Anna, Surely the desire of all nations is here! Let us ask... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 2:1-52

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, under the yoke of an oppressor. Moreover, by the exigency of the circumstances, He was born amid the homeless crowd. This was according to the divine arrangement and foretelling. The message of the angel and the chorus of the heavenly host are of especial interest as revealing heaven's outlook on the birth of Jesus. That may be stated by citing two brief sentences. 1. "Glory to God in the highest," 2. "Peace on earth among men in whom He is well pleased." ... read more

The Seven Magnificats Selections from Luke 1:1-80 and Luke 2:1-52 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction to the seven Magnificats, we will study the annunciation of the birth of Christ, as it was given by the angel unto Mary. Our study will follow Luke 1:27-38 . 1. The virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph. We emphasize that Mary was a virgin. This was plainly set forth in the prophetic Scriptures, when the Holy Ghost wrote, "A virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall... read more

The Infant Christ A Christmas Sermon Luke 2:7-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In a manger, on the hay, There, incarnate God, once lay: From the Father's throne He came To a world all sunk in shame; Came a Babe, of virgin born, Came from Heaven, of glory shorn, Came with swaddling clothes wrapped round, Came with limitations bound. In a manger, on the hay, There, Immanuel once lay; "God with us," on earth He trod Fashioned man, yet very God; "God with us," a Babe, He came To declare the... read more

The Search of the Shepherds Luke 2:8-18 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Christmas story from any angle is most interesting. We are to study, "The Search of the Shepherds." The study is well named, for the duty of the shepherd is to search for the sheep that go astray. We remember that wonderful song, "There Were Ninety and Nine." The song describes the ninety and nine lying safely within the shelter of the fold, while one was out on the hills away, lost and wandering. The Shepherd in this song, is... read more

THE UNSEEN FROM HEAVEN‘And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.’ Luke 2:10-1 Kings :. Let us be more careful that we catch the right emphasis of each word in this song from heaven. I. ‘Unto you.’—It begins with that without which it would be of little worth—those two sweet words of appropriation—‘Unto you.’ We all know the... read more
