We learned a nursery rhyme. I think you learned it too. Mary had a little lamb. His fleece was white as snow.

I want to talk to you today about Mary's little lamb. We read about that little lamb in Luke

chapter two, beginning in verse seven, and she brought

forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger because

there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds,

abiding in the field, keeping watch or their flocked by night and low,

the angel of the Lord came upon them,

and the glory of the Lord shone round about them,

and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, fear not, for behold,

I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people, for unto you is born this day in the city of David, a savior, which is Christ the Lord.

A little lamb was born in Bethlehem.

The great I Am was born a lamb. It was not incidental and not accidental that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.

I have visited Bethlehem many times. Bethlehem is a little village about five miles south of

Jerusalem, and most of us would

have heard very little, if anything about it, had not a little lamb been born in Bethlehem.

But I say it was not accidental, nor was it incidental. It had been prophesied for centuries

in Micah, chapter 5 and verse 2, but thou Bethlehem, Ephrata,

though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me.
