The Two Christmas Stories, Part 2, Luke
by Rev. Joel C Glenn
Type of Event: Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon
Date Recorded: 25 Dec, 2025
Location: Westville, RSA
Topics: Christmas 
There is not just one “Christmas Story:” Matthew recounts Joseph’s dilemma, the arrival of the wise men, and the threat of Herod, while Luke recounts the annunciation to Mary, the infant Jesus being placed in a manger, and the shepherds coming to see Him. Keeping these stories separate in our minds helps us understand the spiritual significance of each one: Matthew has a lot to say about how we receive the Lord in our minds through truth, faith, and understanding. Luke on the other hand tells us more about how we receive the Lord in our hearts, in goodness, charity, and our will. On Christmas Day we will explore how Luke can help us be more accepting, trusting, and loving in how we receive the Lord.
