Bethlehem

Series: The Cities of Christmas
Luke 2: 1-7 & John 1:1-14
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35
The gospels tell us that Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The town name literally means “house of bread,” and is a reminder that Jesus is the Bread of Life. Bread from the table can ease our hunger and meet our physical needs temporarily, but Jesus Christ can meet our spiritual needs and give us eternal life! Christmas is an invitation to believe in Him and receive Him as your own Lord and Savior.

Dec 13, 2020NazarethBy: Phil PeacockSeries: The Cities of Christmas“How can this be?” Mary asked the angel. — Luke 1:34 The first chapter of Luke tells us that Gabriel, the angel of the Lord, came to a young Jewish woman named Mary while she was living in Nazareth. When he announced she would give birth to a child who would be the Son of God, she asked a logical question: “How can this be?” It’s a question we may ask many times in our lives. We seldom understand the ways of God—His wisdom, His power and His love. Even when we don’t understand, we need to trust him as Mary did. Our greatest joy will be found in surrendering our lives to His plan!

For my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to Your people Israel.” Luke 2:29-32 When Mary and Joseph carried baby Jesus into the temple, the old man Simeon knew immediately who he was—bursting into a song of praise for God’s saving work! How did Simeon know when so many others did not? The scripture tells us the Holy Spirit moved in the heart of this man who was righteous, devout, trusting, and constantly waiting for God to work. God’s Spirit can reveal great truths to us as well, if our hearts are prepared in the same way!
