All right I want you to turn to two passages of scripture, Luke Chapter 2, which is if you were at the South Lake campus,

Pastor Todd just read from Luke 2, and he actually stopped right where I want to begin, so he did real well on that so I think the

Holy Spirit led him. Luke Chapter 2 and First Timothy 4 if you'll put a marker at

1st Timothy chapter 4. All right?

We've been in a series for eight weeks now, actually.

This is the eighth message in this series,

and we've been talking about the Holy Bible beyond words, that God's word Bible beyond words.

That God's word is beyond any words on this earth.

And I want to end this series with a message called

The miracle of meditation. The Miracle of Meditation.

The Miracle of Meditation.

And Luke chapter 2 is the Christmas story.

Versus 1 through 14 probably be the whole Christmas story that's normally read but I want to

start at verse 15 Luke 2 verse 15 so it was when the angels had gone away from

to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass which the Lord has made known to us and

they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the babe lying in a manger.

Now when they'd seen him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this child.

And all those who heard it marveled which was told them concerning this child.

And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the Shepherds.

But Mary, look at verse 19, but Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.

Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart.
