Lk 2:7 “There was no room for them in the Inn”
What a place for Jesus to be born, in a stable or barn wraped in rags and laying in a feed box. It would seem that way but for the fact where would a lamb be born, in a barn. Laying in the feed box where would the bread of life lay. There was no room for them in the Inn. Is there room for him in your heart? THINK ABOUT IT!
Matt 1:19 says, ”Joseph was a righteous man”, this means he was a godly man. What kind of person do you think God would choose to be His Son’s stepfather. Joseph was a good example to Jesus, what kind of example are we? THINK ABOUT IT!
Matt 1:19-20 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had a mind to divorce her quietly.
Suppose you was engaged to someone who turned up pregnant, and she told you God did it. Most people would say sure he did, Joseph was a good man who didn’t want to make a public display of Mary, was going to divorce her in private. But God had a different idea, enter the angel of the Lord in a dream and he changed his mind. What would you have done? THINK ABOUT IT
Luke 2:10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people.”
The angel of the Lord came to where the shepherds were and told them of the birth of Jesus. Jesus is called the Lamb of God, who else would God tell first, but those who take care of lambs. Think about it!
Matt 2:1-1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.

Proverb 17:22 A merry heart does good like a medicine;
We have all taken some kind of medicine to get well, but the scriptures says that a merry heart is like medicine. Could it be that some of our illness are caused by what kind of attitude we have toward life?(strongs concordance8056-cheerful-glad-joy). Think about it!
Matt 1:23 The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, Which means, “God with us. ”
Everything about His birth is a miracle, Isaiah said, 7:14 that would be a sign of who He was. Jesus was Gods gift to this world, but He was also God with us. God came to earth in the form of a man to die for a world that needed God. We still need this same Jesus in our lives today! Think about it!
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON NOT SANTA. GOD GAVE US THE GREATEST GIFT, WHEN HE SENT JESUS TO DIE FOR US. THINK ABOUT IT!
