Luke 2:25-35 December 27, 2020 Desert Light Christian Church Pastor Eric Villanueva
The Gift of a Christ-Centered Home, Pt. II
we want our homes to be a place where Jesus lives and
people know He’s there. Joseph and Mary had the first Christ centered
home and we can learn from them by looking at the singleness, engagement, and
marriage of Joseph and Mary. God chose two people in transition from singleness to
married life as the ones who would would cooperate with Him in His plan to invade our planet with His physical presence.
O Little Town of Bethlehem
“But when the Child was born in Bethlehem, since Joseph could not find a lodging in that village, he took up his quarters in a certain cave near the village; and while they were there, Mary brought forth the Christ and placed Him in a manger, and here the Magi who came from Arabia found Him”
–Justin Martyr, around 155 a.d.
