Jesus Christ Our Promised Seed

I had given to you tonight, upon your arrival here at International for the evening fellowship, this particular piece of paper that has on it the table of the order in which the events occurred; the chronological events surrounding the birth of Christ. Of course, this is yours to take with you, but this will put together for you the order in which these things occurred. So that if you will read these scriptures in the order that they're given here.

Number one is Luke 1:5-25, which is the angel's announcement of the birth of John the Baptist. You start there and go all the way through, you will chronologically have everything in order regarding the birth of Jesus Christ. The second one is Luke 1:26-38, and that's the angel's announcement of the birth of Jesus. Number three is Luke 1:39-56, Mary visits Elizabeth. Number four is Luke 1:57-80, which is the birth of John the Baptist. And then you go to Matthew chapter 1:18-24, where you have the record dealing with Mary, Joseph and the angel. And in number six, Matthew 1:25a and in Luke 2:1-20, you have the birth of Jesus. Number seven is Matthew 1:25b and Luke 2:21, which is Jesus’ circumcision and the naming of Jesus Christ. Number eight is Luke 2:22-24, which is marriage purification and Jesus’ presentation in the temple. Number nine is Luke 2:25-35, where Simeon is there in the temple. And the tenth one is Luke 2:36-38, which is the prophetess Anna. Then in Matthew chapter 2:1-12, you have the wise men, the magi. And number 12 is Matthew 2:13-22, the flight to Egypt. And 13 is Matthew 2:23 and Luke 2:39, their return to Nazareth. Fourteen is Luke 2:40 and verse 42, Jesus to the age of 12. And finally, the 15th one is Luke 2:42-52, Jesus from age of 12 to manhood.

This will put together for you all the accuracy that we know of God’s Word regarding the chronological events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ.
