The Songs of His Coming: O Little Town Of Bethlehem
((PEACE: The Second Sunday of Advent))
Luke 2:1-7

• How Still We See Thee Lie
((Lots of things happened in Bethlehem:
Rachel was buried there (Gen. 35.19)
Ruth Redeemed there (Ruth 1)
Something awful happened to someone from there (Judges 19)
It’s King David’s hometown (1 Sam. 16))))
The Messiah would come from there: ((700 years before Christ's birth))
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me The One to be Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, From everlasting." –Micah 5:2

• For Christ Is Born Of Mary

This makes Him divine/ human: Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.
--Hebrews 2:14-15

• How Silently The Wondrous Gift Is Given

“For He made Him Who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” –2 Cor. 5:21
