‘See the coming of the Saviour’ (Luke 2:1-20)

In Luke 2:1-20, Luke sets down in writing what he had come to know about the birth of Jesus through his faithful research. After having set the scene for the event through the happenings regarding the angel Gabriel’s busy visits to Zechariah and to Mary, the spotlight then turns to the baby promised to Mary. While there are many ways to tackle this well known passage, this message explores the events that Luke recorded through the theme of journeys – 3 of them – that all have ‘joy’ in the centre of them.
