Today's message: "The Question Of Christmas" comes from Luke 1:18,34, and Matthew 2:2.
Luke 1:18,34
18 Then Zacharias said unto the Angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife is of a great age.
34 Then said Mary unto the Angel, [a]How shall this be, seeing [b]I know not man?
Matthew 2:2
2 Saying, Where is the King of the Jews that is born? for we have seen his star in the East, and are come to worship him.
Footnotes:
Luke 1:34 The greatness of the matter causeth the Virgin to ask this question, not that she distrusteth any whit at all, for she asketh only of the manner of the conceiving, so that it is plain she believed all the rest.
Luke 1:34 So speak the Hebrews, signifying by this modest kind of speech the company of man and wife together, and this is the meaning of it: how shall this be, forseeing, I shall be Christ his mother, I am very sure. I shall not know any man: for the godly virgin had learned by the Prophets, that the Messiah should be born of a Virgin.
