Good afternoon, everyone!
Today I read Luke 2-3.
Today's reading details the birth of Jesus, as well as the preaching of John the Baptist and Jesus' baptism.
Mary and Joseph are in the stable where Jesus was born. The angel appears to the shepherds.
Luke 2:10-12 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Then the host of heaven appeared and began praising God.
Luke 2:14 - "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."
And when Joseph and Mary took Jesus to be blessed as was custom, they were amazed at the things Simeon the priest said about Him, even though an angel had told them already.
Later, when Jesus was twelve, He was left behind accidentally in Jerusalem. Mary and Joseph found Him in the temple, listening to the teachings and asking questions.
They scolded Him for making them worry, but He declared that He was where He should be: in His Father's house.
But they were amazed and did not understand.
Even though they knew that Jesus was God's Son, as parents, it was difficult for them to understand the way Jesus behaved sometimes.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Luke 4-5.
