Lucas 2:13-26 NVI

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Luke 2:14

The First Christmas Carol by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) This sermon, preached by Tony Capoccia, is now available on Audio Cassette or CD: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:14 (KJV) It is wrong to worship angels; but it is appropriate to love them. Although it would be a great sin, and a crime against the Sovereign Court of Heaven to pay the slightest adoration to the mightiest angel, yet it would be unkind and inappropriate, if we did not give... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Luke 2:17-20

Holy Work for Christmas by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "When they had seen Him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told." (Luke 2:17-20 ) Every season has its own proper fruit: apples for... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 2:1-52

Now it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. (And the taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syra.) And all went to be taxed, every one to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, and unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and the lineage of David,) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, who at this point was... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Luke 2:1-52

Luke 2:1 . It came to pass in those days, when John was born, and when the Roman emperor, Augustus Cæsar, filled the throne, and was in the thirty first year of his reign, that, a decree was issued for a general taxation according to men’s property. This emperor, after the battle of Actium, became so popular, that the senate invited him to take the reins of government into his hands, which laid, properly speaking, the foundation of the imperial monarchy of Rome. Augustus, as a man of... read more

Luke 2:13With the angel a multitude of the heavenly hostThe angel’s songI.CONSIDER THE PASSAGE AS IT LIES BEFORE US IN THE HISTORY. II. MAKE SOME PRACTICAL REMARKS UPON THE SUBJECT. 1. If this be the song and taste and sentiment of heaven, what is the taste and sentiment of the men of the earth who call themselves wise, and call us fools for believing the Bible? 2. We learn from the song that no goodwill from heaven can be communicated to man, nor any peace on earth, but what is consistent with... read more

Luke 2:14Glory to God in the highestThe angels’ song (A Christmas sermon)First heard above the plains of Bethlehem it is one day to be heard over all the world.Its sweet melody is to be woven into every language which men have learnt to speak. The angels are to hear it in all dialects and tongues. It is to be the choral response of a gladdened world to the birthday joy which was once poured forth upon the shepherd hearts at Bethlehem. I. WE OWE CHRISTMAS-TIDE TO CHRISTIANITY. II. LET US... read more

Luke 2:15Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and seeBethlehem’s wonderEvery year the Christian heart takes, in thought, the shepherd’s pilgrimage to Bethlehem.In this district lay the fields of Boaz in which Ruth gleaned. Here the son of Obed was born. David was anointed in Bethlehem. Best of all, in Bethlehem was Christ revealed. It was not without significance that Bethlehem, “The House of Bread,” should be the birthplace of Him who had come down from heaven to be the Bread of Life for men,... read more

Luke 2:16-18And they came with haste.The course pursued by the shepherds is vividly typical of that which should be pursued by all Christian inquirers. 1. A process of inquiry. 2. The joy of distinct confirmation. 3. A bold proclamation of the truth which has been realized. The gospel is self-propagating. Wherever it makes a convert it makes a preacher. Have we made known abroad what we ourselves have experienced of the power and love of Christ? Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets!... read more

Luke 2:19And pondered them in her heartMary’s musingsGreat things were these which she kept, and most fit for earnest pondering.Great were they to all, greatest to her, the “highly favoured” amongst women. Life was opening strangely upon her; and the last few months had crowded into their narrow compass all that was most fit to stir the very depths of her spirit. Brought up in the, comparative seclusion which shut in Jewish damsels, the angel of the Most High had stood suddenly beside her, and... read more

Luke 2:20And the shepherds returnedDignifying common lifeAnd then they returned to their fields, to their flocks, to their ordinary life; giving thus a beautiful example of pious diligence and fidelity in their vocation.An extraordinary privilege has been granted to them. They are not lifted up by it into pride and pretension and self-sufficiency and idleness. They are cheered by it in their common toil. This is all the gospel that some of them would hear on earth. They would die, probably, as... read more
