TOO BUSY FOR CHRISTMAS<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Luke 2: 1-7<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

NO CONCEPT\u00a0 \u00a0 Luke 2: 1-3<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In those days\u00a0a decree went out from\u00a0Caesar Augustus that all the world should be\u00a0registered.\u00a02\u00a0<\/strong>This was the first\u00a0registration when Quirinius\u00a0was governor of Syria.\u00a03\u00a0<\/strong>And all went to be registered, each to his own town.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Proverbs 21: 1<\/span><\/h3>\n

The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the\u00a0Lord; he\u00a0turns it wherever he will.<\/span><\/h3>\n

NO CHOICE\u00a0 \u00a0 Luke 2: 4-5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

4\u00a0<\/strong>And Joseph also went up\u00a0from Galilee, from the town of\u00a0Nazareth, to Judea, to\u00a0the city of David, which is called\u00a0Bethlehem,\u00a0because he was of the house and lineage of David,\u00a05\u00a0<\/strong>to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Micah 5: 2<\/span><\/h3>\n

But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of\u00a0Judah,<\/span>
\nfrom you shall come forth for me one who is to be\u00a0ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is\u00a0from of old, from ancient days.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Jeremiah 1: 12<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0Then the\u00a0Lord\u00a0said to me, \u201cYou have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.\u201d<\/span><\/h3>\n

Matthew 1: 24-25<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife,\u00a025\u00a0<\/strong>but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And\u00a0he called his name Jesus.<\/span><\/h3>\n

NO ROOM\u00a0 \u00a0 Luke 2: 6-7 <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0And\u00a0while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.\u00a07\u00a0<\/strong>And she gave birth to her firstborn son and\u00a0wrapped him in swaddling cloths and\u00a0laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in\u00a0the inn.<\/span><\/h3>\n

NO NOTICE\u00a0 \u00a0 Luke 2: 7<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and\u00a0wrapped him in swaddling cloths and\u00a0laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in\u00a0the inn.<\/span><\/h3>\n
