The Birth of Christ Jesus
Arnold Moose
When Jesus was born, a babe, the angels with a multitude of the heavenly host were praising God.
(Luke 2:13, 14 KJV) And suddenly there was with the ANGEL A MULTITUDE OF THE HEAVENLY HOST PRAISING GOD, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
We all know Jesus was a babe in the womb of Mary. As soon as Mary told Elizabeth it is recorded in the Book of Luke.
(Luke 1:44 KJV) For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the BABE leaped in my womb for joy.
Jesus was also a babe just after his birth.
(Luke 2:12 KJV) And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the BABE wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
Therefore this was in the natural and it cannot be denied that God was manifested and born in the flesh.
Now let’s look at it from the spiritual side. We were born again as babes in the spirit.
(John 3:6 KJV) That which is born of the flesh is flesh; AND THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT. (1Pet. 2:2 KJV) As NEWBORN BABES, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may GROW THEREBY.
First we must marry God in order for us to have His name JESUS. Only after marriage can we give birth to sons and daughters of God. Otherwise if we don’t have His Name all of the children born out of wedlock would be bastard children.
When parents are not married their children are bastards. Look up the definition of bastard in a dictionary of Hebrew or Greek. In Hebrew it means alienated and in Greek it means spurious (false or fake) or illegitimate son.
In order to marry God we must obey him and take on his name.
(Acts 2:38 KJV) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and BE BAPTIZED EVERY ONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
In the Old Testament Israel was baptized unto Moses.
(1Cor. 10:2 KJV) And were ALL BAPTIZED UNTO MOSES IN THE CLOUD AND IN THE SEA.
The Cloud represents Holy Ghost baptism and the Sea represents of course Water baptism. Therefore we are married to him through baptism. So when a preacher preaches the word of God and one person repents, representing the birth of Christ Jesus, his Son, within that person we ought to celebrate Christ’s birth. We are ministering spirits here on earth like the angels. As the angels of God rejoiced when Jesus was born we also should rejoice every time that Christ Jesus is born in the heart of someone.
(Luke 15:10 KJV) Likewise, I say unto you, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.
We should not celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ just once a year, on December 25th, which, is called Christmas a pagan holiday. We should celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ every time he is born in a heart and a baby Jesus comes forth.
May God bless you richly,
Arnold Moose
