IT’S A BOY!

L U K E
CHAPTER 2

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

The most glorious day of all times.

I laughed at Mary Haas painting, “Adoration of the critters”, love it, why not? Haas is a fine artist, in my opinion.

“I laughed at Mary Haas painting, “Adoration of the critters”, love it, why not?”

Who can say? The adoration of God by animals is sung about in Psalms, even by trees and wheat of the field.

But even the adoration of the baby Jesus in 4, 7, 9, 12, 16, and 28 by Mary and Joseph makes me wonder: did they worship their baby as God?
