The Birth of Jesus Christ #2 - BY Fred R. Coulter - Chapter 47 in the Book: God's Plan for Mankind.

Greetings, everyone. Welcome to Sabbath Services.

     Now what we're going to do? We're going to cover and finish the birth of Christ today. 

     The book of Acts is fascinating, and we'll answer the question. How did Luke get some of the words we read in Luke 1 and 2, which are the direct words of Elizabeth and Mary? So let's find out something here. Acts, the First Chapter. 

     He says in verse one, first account; I indeed have written, O Theophilus concerning all the things that Jesus began both to do and to teach, until the day that he was taken up, after giving command by the Holy Spirit to the apostles, his chosen ones. 

     Okay. Now, when you read the book of acts, we find this. All the chapters go along, and they are a narration about what other people did, and you find that acts one, acts two, all the way through different narrations. 

     Okay, when did Luke come on the scene and join Paul? Because that's the key. Okay, we find these things, and like in Chapter Six, Chapter Seven, Chapter Eight, Chapter Nine, and Chapter Ten, all of these are narrations that Paul was not involved in. So how do we find where Paul identifies that he's writing this, including himself? Okay, let's come to Chapter Sixteen, Acts 16:10.
