  December 25 Lesson 4 (KJV) Mary Rejoices Devotional Reading: Isaiah 9:1–7 Background Scripture: Luke 1:46–55 Luke 1:46–55 46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord , 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: behold, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed. 49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. 50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. 51 He hath shewed strength with his arm and scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he sent empty away. 54 He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy ; 55 As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

  Morning, December 25 Go To Evening Reading “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” —Isaiah 7:14 Let us to-day go down to Bethlehem, and in company with wondering shepherds and adoring Magi, let us see him who was born King of the Jews, for we by faith can claim an interest in him, and can sing, “ Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given.” Jesus is Jehovah incarnate, our Lord and our God, and yet our brother and friend; let us adore and admire. Let us notice at the very first glance his miraculous conception . It was a thing unheard of before, and unparalleled since, that a virgin should conceive and bear a Son. The first promise ran thus, “ The seed of the woman ,” not the offspring of the man. Since venturous woman led the way in the sin which brought forth Paradise lost, she, and she alone, ushers in the Regainer of Paradise. Our Saviour, although truly man, was as to his human nature the Holy One of God. Let us rever...

  Morning, December 24 Go To Evening Reading “For your sake, he became poor.” —2 Corinthians 8:9 The Lord Jesus Christ was eternally rich , glorious, and exalted, but “though he was rich , yet for your sakes he became poor.” As the rich saint cannot be accurate in his communion with his poor brethren unless of his substance he ministers to their necessities, so (the same rule holding with the head as between the members), it is impossible that our Divine Lord could have had fellowship with us unless he had imparted to us of his own abounding wealth, and had become poor to make us rich. Had he remained upon his throne of glory and had we continued in the ruins of the fall without receiving his salvation, communion would have been impossible on both sides. Our position by the fall, apart from the covenant of grace, made it as impossible for fallen man to communicate with God as it is for Belial to be in concord with Christ. In order, therefore, that communion might be compasse...
