Christmas Day 2013   Jeff Lampl 


    Is there a greater day than this in all of world history?  

1  In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2  (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3  And everyone went to their own town to register.
4  So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6  While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.     
                                            
Luke 2:1-7 (NIV2011)
   

           Take a moment to listen carefully to the following song written by Isaac Watts in
           1791 inspired by salm 98,  later arranged by  Georg Friederich Handel.   Why not
           sing it out loud?
