Mary started tripping .. Oh yeah I imagine Mary saying “hold up there a minute Mr Angel Gabriel. I’m still a virgin and I ain’t been with no man.Besides that I’m espoused to Joseph, we are engaged.Joseph is a good man. He got his act together. He’s got a real good job, he’s a carpenter. He’s decent. He loves the Lord, And he loves me and he only have eyes for me. Mary said but if the Good Lord needs a vessel here am I, I’ll go.

Gabriel said the Lord wants you and in Luke 1:37 Gabriel said For with God nothing shall be impossible. Mary said behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the Angel Gabriel departed from her. I noticed that the Angel Gabriel didn’t depart from Mary until after she told him that she would be obedient. Listen every person on the planet have a choice. It’s called Free Will. God isn’t going to make you make Him give you favor so you can be blessed. You have to be a willing vessel.

Tell your neighbor: You got to be willing. In Luke 2 Mary and Joseph have to wrapped their minds around what’s happening to them. And after the dream where God told Joseph how to handle this situation, Joseph was good with it. They accepted their plight. And many of us have to accept our plight. Obedience is better than sacrifice sometimes we just have to change our flight plans, because the truth of the matter is that God had a plan for our lives before the foundations of the world. Joseph was of the lineage and bloodline of David so he had to go to Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph lived in Nazareth in the Galilee district but Caesar Augustus was doing a nation wide census. Everybody had to be counted and everybody had to pay taxes.

But there is a huge problem Mary is big and pregnant and the mode of transportation was donkeys. Trained donkeys were docile easy to manage,could carry heavy loads, and were low to the ground. Mary is riding to Bethlehem on the donkey but now it’s getting late in the evening and the sun is going down. Mary is at full term and it’s cold outside.

Joseph tired to get a room in the inn but there was no room for them in the inn. And my prayer is that there is always room at my home for Jesus. I always pray Lord you’re welcome in my home, continue to keep it a home of prayer prosperity peace and love while I produce for your Kingdom. I made a special prayer for my home.....

Meanwhile brothers and sisters it’s a cold winter’s night . 2x and Joseph has to find somewhere right now because the baby is coming. So Joseph remembers that his kinfolk have a family cave that they use as a stable. Joseph find the cave, goes in the cave with the domesticated animals, builds a fire and Mary have the baby. The prophecy came true. Isaiah 9:6 For uto us a child is born unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful,Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The prince of Peace. The Messiah of the world. the savior of the world was born in a stable, wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn. Mary and Joseph married and baby Jesus would be called the son of David as the prophecy said. Scripture don’t lie. Joseph embrace the concept of adoption without telling anybody he adopted Jesus. And once you adopt somebody, you can’t un-adopt them. In fact they have just as much right as do you natural born children have. And it’s the same way with God once we’ve been adopted into the community of Christian we can’t be un- adopted.

On that cold December night there was joy in that little cave. It was joy in the stable because the Savior of the world has come. And so God wanted more witnesses so the bible says God sent the Angel Gabriel to visit some shepherd.

Look at Luke 2: 8 and let’s read to the 14 verse “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 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. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

I see several things in verses 8-14.
I see several things in verses 8-14.
1. In verse 8 the shepherds were keeping watch over their flock by night. It’s the Shepherd’s job to watch over the flock.The book of Ezekiel said Preacher I’ve made you a watchman over the flock and if you don’t warn them and tell them what thus said the Lord if they die in their sins they’ll get their just punishment but their blood will I require at the watchman’s hand. The bible also say be careful with the flock of which the Holy Ghost have made you overseer. Preacher you’re in charge but you got to act right.

2. In verse 9 The angel of the Lord came upon the Shepherds and the Glory of God shone round about them. God isn’t going to shine around un holy men God wants decent righteous men to serve because this business is too important for a fool or a crook or a drunk, or an addict etc God knew that those particular Shepherds were righteous.

3. The Shepherds were sore afraid. The bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of having wisdom. I’m in awe of God I’m in reverence to God and I’m in fear towards God because the bible says in Psalms 53:1 the fool has saith in his heart, there is no God.

5. Another significant detail is that the Angel Gabriel said you’ll find the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger. Jesus was not lying in His royal robe that he left in heaven,Jesus was not wrapped in a diadem of heaven glory, Jesus was not lying in a fancy hotel in New Orleans, There was not Carlton Ritz, no Adam Marks, Buckingham Palace, no White House mansion, no no no He was surrounded by donkeys cows sheep that ate from the feeding trough Mary laid Him down in. The shepherd went looking for a baby wrapped in commoner clothes and laying down in an animal feeding trough.This is so lowly until nobody can say this Jesus stuff is too high class for me. The songwriter said If Jesus got to reach way down He can lift you up. There is no situation too bad that Jesus doesn’t understand or is able to fix. Tell your neighbor: He’s Able

7.The Angelic Host were praising God saying Glory to God. Can you shout “Glory to God” The bible say they said Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. This is a pronouncement of blessings on mankind. This is a declaration to the world that salvation is come to the human race and His name is Jesus. The heavenly host the angelic choir was singing, Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the new born King, Peace on earth, and mercy mild; God and sinners reconciled. Joyful all ye nations rise. Join the triumph of the skies with angelic hosts proclaim, Christ is born in Bethlehem Hark the herald angels sing Glory to the new born king. Jesus

Let me be real clear here You can praise God without singing a note but you can’t sing a single gospel note without praising God. I’m not talking about secular music but Gospel music. When you sing heaven stops and listen and say I want to hear my children praise me. That’s why the Psalmist said in Psalm 66:1 Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands: 2 Sing forth the honour of his name: make his praise glorious. It’s Christmas time we ought too praise the Lord.... And don’t miss your opportunity to sing and shout and glorify God in this great holiday season. Church I want us to praise God so much until The devil gets sad and mad about the one he thought he had. Because we belong to God.

The Shepherds said Let’s go see this great sight. Let’s go to Bethlehem and see what the Lord has done. The bible says they hurried to Bethlehem and found Mary and Joseph… And when they saw Baby Jesus the Savior of the world wrapped in swaddling clothes laying in a manger just like the Angel Gabriel said.Somebody began to say Away in a manger no crib for a bed the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, the Little Lord Jesus a sleep on the hay.
