Date: 2011-12-18 Read:Galatians 4:1-7 CHRISTMAS JOURNEY When the fullness of the time had come,  God sent forth His Son. ―Galatians 4:4 Hymn104 How far is it from Nazareth to Bethlehem? If you're in Penn-sylvania, it? about 9 miles and takes about 10 minutes by car. But if you're in Nazareth of Galilee, and you're traveling along with your pregnant wife, as Joseph was, it's about 80 miles to Bethlehem. That journey probably took Joseph and Mary about a week, and they didn't stay in a nice hotel when they got there. All Joseph could fin-d was a stall in a stable, and that's where Mary delivered "her first-born Son"(Luke 2:7).  But the journey for the infant Jesus was much farther than 80 miles. He left His place in heaven at God's right hand, came to earth, and accepted our humanity. Eventually, He was stretched out on a cross to die, and He was buried in a borrowed tomb. But the journey was not over. He conquered death, left the tomb, walked again among men, and ascended to heaven. Even that is not the journey's end. Someday He will return as King of kings and Lord of lords.  As you take a Christmas journey this month, reflect on the journey Jesus made for us. He came from heaven to earth to die for us, making salvation available through His death on the cross and His glorious resurrection.  Praise God for that first Christmas journey! ―Dave Egner  When God stepped out of heaven above  And came down to this earth,  He clothed Himself in human flesh―  A Child of lowly birth. ―D. De Haan Jesus came to earth for us  so we could go to heaven with Him.

날짜: 2011-12-18 갈라디아서 4:1-7 성탄절 여행 때가 차매 하나님이 그 아들을 보내사 －갈라디아서 4:4 찬송가104 나사렛에서 베들레헴은 얼마나 떨어져 있을까요? 당신이 만일 펜실베이니아 주에 있다면 두 도시 간의 거리는 약 15킬로미터이므로 차로 10분 정도 걸립니다. 그러나 당신이 요셉처럼 갈릴리의 나사렛에 있다가 임신한 아내와 함께 여행 중이라면 베들레헴까지의 거리는 약 130킬로미터 정도입니다. 요셉과 마리아의 여행은 대략 1주일 정도 걸렸을 것이고, 그곳에 도착해서도 좋은 숙박시설에 머물지 못했습니다. 요셉이 찾을 수 있었던 유일한 곳은 마구간 한 칸이었고, 마리아는 거기서 “맏아들”(눅 2:7)을 낳았습니다.  하지만 아기 예수의 여행은 130킬로미터보다 훨씬 더 멀었습니다. 주님은 하나님 오른편 천국 보좌를 떠나 이 땅에 오셔서 우리와 같은 인성을 입으셨습니다. 최후에는 십자가에 달려 돌아가시고 빌린 무덤에 안장되셨습니다. 그러나 여행은 아직 끝나지 않았습니다. 주님은 죽음을 이기시고 무덤에서 나와 다시 사람들 사이에서 다니시다가 천국으로 올라가셨습니다. 그것조차도 여행의 끝이 아닙니다. 언젠가 주님은 만왕의 왕이시자 만주의 주님으로서 다시 오실 것입니다.  이번 달에 성탄절 여행을 할 때, 예수님이 우리를 위해 하셨던 여행을 깊이 생각해보십시오. 주님은 천국에서 이 땅으로 오셔서 우리를 위해 죽으시고, 십자가에서의 죽음과 영광스러운 부활로써 구원을 이루셨습니다.  그 첫 번 성탄절 여행을 생각하며 하나님을 찬양하십시오!  하나님이 저 높은 천국에서 나와  이 땅에 내려오셔서  미천하게 출생한 한 아이의 몸으로  인간의 육신을 옷 입으셨네 우리가 주님과 함께 천국에 갈 수 있도록  예수님이 우리를 위해 이 땅에 오셨다.

Luke 2

Jesus’ Birth in Bethlehem

 ¹ Now in those days a decree went out from ^(A)Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of ^(B)all^[a]the inhabited earth. ^2 [b]This was the first census taken while ^[c]Quirinius was governor of^(C)Syria. ³ And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. ⁴ Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because ^(D)he was of the house and family of David, ⁵ in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. ⁶ While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. ⁷ And she ^(E)gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a ^[d]manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

O Come O Come Emmanuel

 

O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

 

O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan's tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o'er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

 

O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

 

O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

 

O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai's height,
In ancient times did'st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Sall come to thee, O Israel.
