Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:8-14

The Angels Declare the Coming of the Messiah and Bless God for His Goodness in Sending Him, and Appear to the Shepherds in the Fields to Prepare the Way For His Coming. God’s Own Enrolment Is Being Made On Behalf of His Son (2:8-14). We should note that in the two Gospels that speak of Jesus’ birth those who acknowledge Him are the unexpected. Matthew has foreigners coming to acknowledge Jesus and Luke has shepherds. That Luke stresses the shepherds ties in with his continual emphasis on the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:10

‘And the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people, for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.” ’ The angel assured them that they need not be afraid. Rather they should rejoice. For he had brought them good news indeed, ‘glad tidings of great joy’ (for ‘joy’ compare Luke 1:14; Luke 1:47; Luke 1:58). It was glad tiding which would be for ‘all people’ (compare Isaiah... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 2:1-20

Luke 2:1-Proverbs : . The Birth of Jesus. Lk. only. In obedi ence to a decree of the Emperor Augustus, ordering a general census (the first, during the Syrian governor ship of Quirinius), every man went to his own city. Thus Joseph, being of Davidic lineage, journeys from Nazareth to Bethlehem, and with him Mary his betrothed (according to the Syr. Sin. “ his wife” ), though far advanced in pregnancy. At Bethlehem her son is born, in a stable, for Joseph had been unable to find a better... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 2:10-12

Though God, in his appearances to his people, was wont so to appear, as to show them cause to revere his majesty, yet he always supported them, that their spirits might not fail under those apprehensions and consternations. The angel bids them not to fear, for they had no reason to be afraid, he came not to bring them any frightening tidings, but tidings of joy, and that not to them alone, but to all people, both Jews and Gentiles, for to that latitude the text may be expounded. What was that?... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 2:1-20

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 2:1. All the world.—I.e. the Roman world (orbis terrarum). Taxed.—Rather, “enrolled,” something like a modern census, but with a view to taxation.Luke 2:2. This was the first enrolment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria (R.V.).—As Quirinius was governor of Syria in A.D. 6, ten years later than this, and then carried out a census, some have supposed that St. Luke made a mistake in referring to him here. This can scarcely be, as St. Luke himself mentions this second... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 2:8-11

Luke 2:8-11 The Great Joy of Christmas. When we hear an angel from heaven declaring good tidings of great joy, which should be to all people, the heart is straightway set on remembering how wondrous true this declaration of his has proved already; set on considering how infallibly true it will prove to the end. The fountain head of the river of our bliss is the manger at Bethlehem. Every separate stream of our rejoicing is to be traced back thither. The source and beginning of it all is in the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 2:10

Luke 2:10 , Luke 2:14 We have on the Feast of the Nativity these two lessons: instead of anxiety within, and despondence without instead of a weary search after great things to be cheerful and joyful; and again, to be so in the midst of those obscure and ordinary circumstances of life which the world passes over and thinks scorn of. I. Why should the heavenly hosts appear to the shepherds? What was in them which attracted the attention of the angels, and the Lord of angels? Were these... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 2:10-11

Luke 2:10-11 When Jesus was born, the possibilities of human nature began to be realised. Humanity took a new start. The highest hope of all time was realised, and the possibilities of human nature had expression. Christianity comes to every one of us as an inspiration. It hangs, a star in the darkened sky of our lives. Jesus had faith in Himself, and therefore He had faith in the race to which He belonged. He knew that His own capacities typed the capacities of mankind. And on this He built... read more

For unto you is born this day, in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.IT has pleased God on many occasions to confer upon the poor some peculiar tokens of his regard: he has even “chosen them,” in preference to all others, “to be rich in faith and heirs of his kingdom.“But, as though he had designed to mark with special approbation... read more
