The Birth of Jesus Christ

Text: Luke 2:5-20

It's not really a 'Merry Christmas' but a Merry Christ birth. He was not really
born in December 25 but nevertheless He was born and that's enough to
celebrate His wonderful birth.
Jesus Christ as eternal God came down to this earth miraculously, conceived
by the Holy Ghost by a chosen virgin woman , He begun His earthly
existence in the Bethlehem manger.
Jesus Christ journeyed with a heart of love
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down
from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
John 6:38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
will of him that sent me.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Bethlehem a small place south of Jerusalem
He came down in such a humble way
