Discuss Luke 2 Page 9

LOVE this passage!

Verse 38~The Jews in the first century were looking for the Messiah to come and provide deliverance.

There are hidden gems of good examples in the Bible. Anna is a great example. Though briefly mentioned her faith was not forgotten by our Heavenly Father and she was mentioned in the gospel accounts. Though a widow and older in years, she maintained a good spiritual routine and remained active in God Service. We should imitate her example to remain faithful to God all our lives.

Verse 51~Even though Mary may not have fully understood all that was being said or taking place, she kept those things in her heart. Mary cherished Jesus' words and actions.

To Lillian; That's a beautiful comment

Bruce?: Do you have a Nativity Scene to Show Others what it's all about? Everyday is a Good Day to Tell Others about His Birth.Preach The Good News! No man can come to Christ except--- John 6:44 / If we confess Our Sins, He is Faithful-- to Forgive-- 1 John 1:9 / Washed in His Blood Revelation 1:5 / He will Baptist you with The Holy Ghost- Mark 1:8 / You will be Changed-- 2Corinthians 5:17

Glory to God for sending His own Son (God incarnate) to be born of a virgin and to die for us on the cross so that we could be saved from our sins. What a Saviour! I have not observed Christmas for over thirty years because I believe that mixing pagan tradition with His holy birth dishonors my Saviour. If God wanted us to observe Jesus' birth would He not have revealed this to us in His Word?

Thank you God, for getting me through the tough times. I know there is a silver lining, and am seeing it a bit at a time every day. Thank you for those who keep me and my family in prayer, and I keep them all in prayer as well. Thank you for getting me through my two recent classes, which I passed with A . YOU got me through it Father, and I am grateful. I love you, God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit!

Amen, Lord!

GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST AND ON THIS EARTH PEACE AND GOOD TOWARDS MEN PRAISE YOU ABBA FATHER FOR GIVING JESUS TO US PEACE AND LIFE ON THIS EARTH. THANKS TO THE BLOOD OF JESUS SHED FOR US AND BY HIS BLOOD WE HAVE LIFE AND EXPERIENCE GOD'S GOODNESS AND MERCY THAT ALWAYS FOLLOWING ME AMEN

God says to Moses For I am a JEALOUS God yet God also instructs Moses that human vanity jealously is a sin. God also commanded though shall not kill,yet He assisted Joshua in murdering all caanintes. Hard to inturpet as just.

Jesus himself is the word of God he came down not to condemn us but to fulfill the scriptures. Lets give thanks to the blood of Jesus amen

Insight; the Law given through Moses was right from the mouth of God; NOTHING of his own thoughts! It was for the blood that the woman was unclean in giving birth; and for bringing to remembrance the redemption sacrifice of Christ for all who are born of women, that this purification was required. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself is without sin; yet He subjected Himself to fulfill all righteousness.

Insight; Have you not read, or perhaps forgotten, that the Covenant God made with Abraham, He established for all the son's of the Covenant for ever? and shouldn't He also who made the Covenant, when He came in flesh, Himself be subject to His own oath? Why did Jesus go to John to be baptized? Because "Thus it becomes us to fulfill all righteousness." Circumcision is a sign in the flesh, of faith.

V22, the days were accomplished, 8 days passed, but it does not actually say Jesus was circumcised. The purpose of the birth of Jesus is to remove false religion to establish the true religion. Jesus never circumcised anyone or teach it. Woman, Mary, is not un-pure after giving birth. NO Blood sacrifice needed. Male babies are not holy and female babies unholy. Both are holy because God gave life.

These verses might help you Luke 2:5 ".. being great with child; Matt. 2:1-2 ".. Jesus was born in Bethlehem.... there came wise men from the east to worship Him" All these are physical actions. On the other hand in Jh 3:3 Jesus told Nicodemus "...Expect a man be born again....." by that Jesus meant spiritual birth that is from above which we receive from the Holy Spirit when we believe in

Luke 2:21 "And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb." He that made the Covenant of Circumcision with Abraham, was Himself circumcised; according to the Covenant, and the Law: a sign in His flesh for the Man of God walking after the Spirit. The man who was healed was a Jew.

Luke 2:52
Is a verse that I like to include in my prayers for my children and grandchildren for favor with God and men, and to be prospered in all things.

I thought Zion was the city of David

It's wonderful to know Jesus so joyful!

V. 46 - proves that there are no 'loner' Christians. Jesus Himself gave us this example ( Heb. 10:25) at the age of 12. And verifying scriptures are: Matt.12:9; 13:54; Mk.1:21, 29; Lk.4:38; 6:6; Jn.6:59; 12:42; and on and on. Rom. 10:14 - How can they hear without a preacher; 1 Tim. 4:14 - a Preacher (pastor) has hands laid on him by Holy Ghost filled men for God's spirit to 'ordain' him.

Luke 2: Although Joseph and Mary were in Galilee, their first-born Jesus was prophesied to be born in Bethlehem, several miles away. God made it happen through Augustus' decree on taxation. God's words are yeah and amen. No jot goes unfulfilled. This chapter reports the birth of our Our Lord and Saviour Jesus and His early days. God made man. Praise God on high.

Jeremiah10:2 tells me not to follow the way of the heathen, sound doctrine, how could this verse harden my heart, Lorin? Luke 2:34 is God telling Mary and Joseph that Jesus will be a "sign that will be spoken against." You accuse me wrongly, I speak against the holiday that is based on pagan not bliblical truth, I do not speak against His Son our Lord. I don't see any math in Luke 1 and 2.

lu2677,
The entire book of Leviticus relates to Jesus Christ. THEREFORE Leviticus 23 the Laws of the Lord are all pertaining to the Messiah. Jesus Christ is the Messiah.Do not let Jermiah 10:2 harden your heart. Nor let Luke 2:34 take hold and we speak against the sign.The gentiles have a hard time accepting that Jesus Christ is for both ,but clearly in this verse and 35 show that their hearts

Bruce, Verse of the day .You have dicovered that the 8th day of purification, the day of Cicumcision, and the 8th day as written in the law of the Lord all correspond..Simeon story Luke 2:25-35.Jesus is both if you are struggling.So question what day was he born on.What was the moon phase of the day of his birth. All according to the Law of Lord. Verse 32 explains the both part.If this is acceptab

Jesus was not a hypocrite, Matt. 23:3; He LIVED what He taught.

To make God, in His magnificent Glory, His Beauty Of Holiness, His Perfect Majesty, the fact that He's our - SAVIOR!! He was spit on, scourged, given stripes (lashes) for our HEALING, nailed, NAILED to a cross!! - to put Him in a place of - just a man, that would 'talk back to His parents' - isn't right at all ................

The only son, I think, that could talk back to His parents and not be disciplined. Luke 2:49.

The shepherds were very frightened and in awe, suddenly there was a multitude of angels saying,Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men. And when the shepherds saw,they were overflowing with joy and told everybody! We to will tell everybody, when The Spirit is born in us. Called: John 6:44, forgiving: 1John1:9/will be Baptized: Matthew 3:11/made new: 2Corinthians 5:17

Vs. 8-12; every time I read these - I hear Linus; I am 74, but as with most adults I watched it with my kids. That scene with Linus will always be special to me. It was the only time 'religion' was allowed in a child's show.
