The Sign and the Song

by Alistair Begg

Luke 2:12–17
 (ID: 2996)

Against the backdrop of the powerful Roman Empire and the reign of Caesar Augustus, God chose for Jesus to be born in humble circumstances, announcing His birth to a group of common shepherds. In this message, Alistair Begg explains that the sign of Jesus’ humble beginning foreshadowed His death and burial. The peace with God proclaimed by the angels is found by those who see with the eyes of faith and make room for the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.
