Luke’s simple, straightforward, unembellished language describes the most profound birth, with the most far-reaching implications, in the history of the world. On a night like any other night, in an obscure village in Israel, unnoticed by the world, a child was born. But while His birth was like that of every other child, the child was unlike any other child ever born, either before or since. For this child was the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ, deity in human flesh, Israel’s long-awaited Messiah, the Savior of the World. In His birth God entered human society as an infant; the creator of the universe because a man. As Luke picks up the story of Jesus’ birth, he demonstrates how God sovereignty orchestrated events to bring about a direct fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.

What are the benefits of reading the Word of God? First, it is the source of truth (John 17:17) People today look everywhere for answers to life, to try to find out what is worth believing and what is not. The source of all truth about God and man, life and death, time and eternity, damnation and salvation, is all found in God’s own word!. Another benefit is It is the true source of happiness (Luke11:28). No person can be happier than when they discover, accept and obey the Word of God.
