Luke 2:1-20, Luke Story 5

Luke's Story 5 (2:1-20) contains the verse that is popular on Christmas cards, Glory to God in the highest heaven, and peace to men who enjoy his favor. But why do you think that the Story begins with the statement that Joseph was taking Mary to the city of David called Bethelehem? Yes, Jesse, David's father was from Bethelehem, but the city of David is not Bethelehem. It's Jerusalem. Could this Story be about something other than the birth of Jesus?
We'll talk about it tomorrow.

Merry Christmas!!
