All right, good morning. It’s good to be here with the eyes. I love the advent season christmas. My our christmas events have already started this last week. We came back last night from our first set of christmas events and so it’s off right off to the races here, plenty of things to do. Uh We’re back home, I was back home in Norfolk and I I was driving by and I seen the the biggest nativity scene I’ve think I’ve ever seen Um I think the camels were eight ft tall, so I mean it was huge, just spread out on this whole church for the whole on and so it was pretty cool to see. I that’s kind of how my brain works. I was just like where do you store that in the off season? You know, like Alright, so uh but yeah, I mean the nativity scene is very common, it’s very familiar, we we see it a lot and uh you know, I got one up here, it’s been kind of been going around and so alright, if you see if you can catch the the air in here, right? Yes, Yoda doesn’t belong there I guess. But so a lot of times with christmas season though, you see the nativity scene it’s very common, right? But but what happens is the story gets so condensed and you’ve got everything going on at one time and you got the shepherds and you’ve got the wise men and you got everybody, it’s just everything’s together And so real quick. I’m just gonna kind of lay out, it’s very high level, very elementary, just the where we’re at in our story because we’re gonna be looking at Luke 225 through 35 and write the events happen so fast. Sometimes it gets a little convoluted. And so the beginning part is pretty easy right? Where we see uh an angel appeared to mary and tells her that she’s gonna be pregnant and give birth to the messiah. And then an angel appears to joseph reaffirming that right, don’t leave her. And so they go through and then there’s a census happening. So that’s why they have to go to Bethlehem, that’s where the the origins of joseph’s family is at. And so they go up, she gives birth at Bethlehem. The angels appear to the shepherds who then come in and praise God and give him glory. And then they leave. What happens though in that process now is on the eighth day, they are they are believers and and they’re gonna follow the mosaic law. And so on the eighth day, they’re gonna come in and they take jesus up to Jerusalem to be circumcised, that’s part of the jewish law. And then they go back to Bethlehem and then after 40 days after the purification that that has to go through again through the mosaic law for mary, they go back up and they combined two events. One is this dedication where they dedicate and they present and they give their firstborn to God and then they redeem the child back and that kind of um goes back to the Passover but then mary also offers a sacrifice for her purification. So we’re right here, that’s that’s in the midst of our story, this is why when we go into luke too, they are up in Jerusalem at the temple and just to kind of close out that season here is then they go back, right and and when the wise men come, jesus is a toddler. So we got the whole nativity scene with these wise men and the shepherds and that’s probably a year and a half to two years apart. Alright, so there’s a huge time gap and we just kind of throw it on the nativity scene. Um Rightfully so it’s perfectly fine but it’s but the stories are separated by a lot of time and then they flee to Egypt and then later after Herod has died, come back to Nazareth. And so that’s again that’s kind of the gist of where we’re at but we’re we’re right, there day 41 probably uh them going up and presenting jesus and dedicating jesus. So we’re gonna start right here when it when we look at luke two, we’re gonna jump into 25 so luke 2 25. Uh In fact actually I I told my some of my family y…
