Lesson for July 6 THE BIRTH OF JESU3 LESSON TEXT—Luke 2:7-20. golden text —“For unto you is born tills duy In the city ot David u Savior which Is Christ the Lord."— Luke 2:11. PHIMAHY TOPIC The Baby Jesuit. JI NIOII TOPIC -What tile Shepherds Saw and Heard. INTEHMBDIATE AND SENIOIi TOPIC—The Greatest Event In the World* History. YOI'NG people and adi lt topic —Great Hope* Centered in the Birth ot Christ. I. Jesu»’ Birth Foretold (Mlcnh 5:2). Tlds prediction wus made some 700 yenrs before. God moved tlm emperor to enforce the decree of tiixutlon just tn time to cuttse Mury to be ut Bethlehem. 11. Jetq*’ Birth Announced to Mary and Joseph (Luke 1:20-38). The mighty archangel Gabriel wus sent by God to the little town of Nuznretb to Mury, a Jewish mnlden, who wus betrothed to a carpenter of tlmt vlllnge by the nume of Joseph, aolemnly iiioiouncing Hint she should give birth to tlie Messiuli nnd that tills son should not lie Joseph's son but should lie the cbiiii of the Holy Ghost (Matt. 1:18-21). Later the angel of th* Lord appeared to Joseph, also, making the same announcement to him, nnd ndiled that the child slioulil lie culled Jesus, which means tlmt Jehovah will stive His people from their sins (Mutt. 1: 21). HI. Thj Prediction Fulfilled (v. 7). This took place at a most propitious time. The Jews were under the power of the Romans. Not only did the birth of Christ occur when ull systems of religion nnd morality were tottering upon their foundations but at u time most suitable for the Introduction of the Gospel. The whole world lielng under one rule made it possible for Christ's ministers to go from dty to city and country to country unmolest*d. The Almighty rules In tin- whole uulverse und Is never la hind In Ills administration. The surroundings of Christ at III* birth were of n humble sort. The Eternal (hul condescended to Is- incorporated with humanity--to Is- born In a manger, becoming the poorest of the poor thut none might be hindered In coming unto Him. IV. Christ’s Birth Announced (vv. 8 14). 1. By WJjom? The first Gospel ser tnqp was an ungel of the Lord.
