After the Balbe Jesus had grown,
to manhood and was nearing the end
of His earthly ministry, the Jews
had a controversy as to who He was.
Many said: “Of a truth this is the
Prophet.” Others said: “This is the-
Christ.” But some said: “Shall the
Christ come out of Galilee? Hath not' the Scripture said, That Christ'
cometh of the seed of David, and:
out of the town of Bethlehem, where-
David was?” So- there was a divis
ion among the people because of
Him.” (John 7:40-42).
The Christ' had lived in Galilee,
but He was born in Bethlehem that
first Christm'as night. But “there
was no room for them in the inn”
to which Joseph and Mary came af
ter their long journey from the1
North; the young couple had to find*
what lodging they could in a stable,,
where Mary “brought forth her first--
born Son, and wrapped Him in:
swaddling clothes, and laid Him in"
a manger.”
David of old was a shepherd, and’
David’s Greater Son was such a
Shepherd as the world has never"
known apart from Him, So the-
birth of “our Lord Jesus, that' great1
Shepherd of the sheep” (Hob. 13:
20), was announced by the angel of'
the Lord to earthly shepherd that
night “abiding in the fie^ld, keeping'
watch over their flock,”A There are-
two kinds of shepherds; good shep--
herds, and hirelings who are, un
worthy. The Lord Jesus Christ'
described both kinds later; He said"'
the good shepherds would give his
life for the sheep, but a hireling, to
whom the sheep
long, would flee
came because he
the sheep (John
ly those Bethlehem shepherds keep
ing watch that first Christmas night'
in the fields must have been of the*
“good shepherd sort.
They were “sore afraid” when the*
angel appeared and the glory shone"
upon them; but they did not flee,,
and at once they were told: “Fear'
not: for, behold, I jjring you good"
tidings of great joy, which shall be”
to all people. For unto you is borte this day in the city of David a SaVt^j
iour, which is Christ the Lord.” ’ (
Then the marvellous Christmas-*
chorus, sung by “a multitude of the
heavenly host,” burst forth in that
song of praise and good news which
has meant the continuance of the
Christmas message for nineteen
hundred years, and which indeed1
will last through eternity: “Glory*
to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men.” The
Saviour of lost souls had come to

The first Christmas Day signaliz
ed the greatest event in the history
of the world up to that tixpe. The
world began by Creation, and that
was a great event, Bu’t now the
time had come for something great
er; Redemption. Christmas Day
cost God more than creation day.
Creation was by fiat; redemption
could come only Iby sacrifice—and
God’s sacrifice. God himself, and
the angels in Heavexf, and the faith
ful among God's xfeople, the Jews, and even men iii/ general (uncon
sciously to themselves) were all
looking forward^to the. first Christ
mas Day when^ God should condes
cend to become man in ordex* that
lost men miglft be redeemed and lift
ed into fellowship with God.
The governmental machinery of
one of tire greatest empires the
world liasy ever since was set in motion for/his event—and simply that
a Babe/miglit foe born in a' certain
day. STlie Emperor Caesar August
us issued a proclamation reaching to
the midis of the eaTth, to the effect tliat^tlxe citizens of his entire Em
pire, “all the world,” should be tax
ed. This taxation required enrol
ment ox* registration in the countless
various cities and towns. The Enx-
perox* did not know why he did this
just then, but God knew.. Human
ly speaking, if Caesar Augustus had
not' issued that decree just then Jo
seph and Mary would have remained
in the city in which they were then
living, Nazareth in Galilee, and Je-
sus would have been born in Galilee.
But God’s eternal and righteous pur
poses required that when His Son
became man here on earth the birth
must be in Bethlehem, the City of
David. Now Joseph, the husband of
Mary, “was of the house and line
age of David,” therefore lie .....
obliged to travel from Nazareth,
^There he had his carpenter shop, far
south to Bethlehem for this official
enrolment and taxation. An Imper
ial decree took no account of the
convenience or inconvenience of the
subjects of the Emperor, and the
fact that' Mary was soon to give
birth to a child could not excuse Jo
seph and his wife from taking this
trying journey at' that very time. In-
dee'd, God had plan,ned it to come at
that very time.
Looking back at I Samuel 17:12,
we find that David was tlxe son of
a man named Jesse, who lived in
Bethlehem-judalx. God chose this
David to be anointed as the King of
His people (I Sanxuel 16:1, 12).
Later God made with this King the
great Davidic Covenant in the divine
promise: "Tliine hodse and thy King
dom shall be established for ever
before thee: thy throne shall be es
tablished fox- ever” (II Samuel 7:16)
In Jeremiah 23:5-6, we read the pro
phecy six centuries before- the time
of Christ; “Behold, the days come,
saith the Lord, that I will raise unto
David a righteous Branch, and a, King shall reign and prosper and |
He come forth unto Me that
be ruler in Israel, whose go-
forth have been from of old,
everlasting,” (Micah 5-22.)
