Luke 2:6 says, And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. Verse seven states, And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. Verse eight adds, And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. Verse nine declares, 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. Verse ten adds, And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. Verse eleven continues, For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Verse twelve states, And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. Verse thirteen adds, And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Verse fourteen concludes, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. That is the real Christmas story, and we can either believe it or not. If we do, and accept Jesus as our Savior and Lord, then we should live at peace in the world and have good will toward our fellowman and most of all give glory to God in the highest. Merry Christmas and may God bless everyone.
