Luke 2:10–11 KJV 1900
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:10–11 KJV 1900
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:8–14 KJV 1900
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 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. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, Good will toward men.
This announcement came to all people which normally means “the people of Israel”, not people in general. The news would mean much to people in every place but it came first to God’s ancient people.
“Christ” is greek for ‘Anointed one’. Anointing was for special service like that of a priest or king.
Old Testament prophecy spoke of a special deliverer that God would send one day. He would not simply be ‘an anointed’ but ‘the anointed one.’
Lord is used in the greek old testament, the Septuagint, of God
In Bethlehem that night there might be one or two babies wrapped in swaddling clothes, but surely only one lying in a manger.1 1 Morris, L. (1988). Luke: an introduction and commentary (Vol. 3, p. 102). Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press.
