We read Luke 2 in The Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today. This is all about the birth of Jesus of Nazareth! Verses 11-12:
11For to you is born this day in the town of David a Savior, Who is Christ (the Messiah) the Lord!
12And this will be a sign for you [by which you will recognize Him]: you will find [after searching] a Baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. [I Sam. 2:34; II Kings 19:29; Isa. 7:14.]
