Gospel of Luke: Advent - Chapter 2

 Good Evening!  Luke 2 is probably the most "famous" passage in Luke; growing up we had a tradition of reciting the first 20 verses before we opened gifts.  We still do this when we celebrate Christmas with my parents & siblings. So, what do we learn about Jesus in this chapter?

Jesus is...

- From the lineage of David (vs.4-5) 

- Jesus is the firstborn (vs. 7)

- Savior (vs. 11)

- Christ the Lord (vs. 11)

- The Lord's Christ (God's anointed one) (vs. 26)

- The answer to the promise of God to Simeon (vs. 26)

- Jesus is our Salvation (vs. 30)

- Light for revelation to the Gentiles (vs. 32)

- Glory to Israel (vs. 32)

- Filled with wisdom (vs. 40)

- Favor of God was on Him (vs. 40)

- Submissive to his parents (vs. 51)

Jesus grew in wisdom (mentally), stature (physically), in favor with God (spiritually), and man (socially) (vs. 52)
