welcome back to the ancestral findings podcast  did your ancestors celebrate Christmas as I   00:00
reminisce about my childhood I remember  attending church and learning about the   00:06
true meaning of Christmas today my plan is to  read about the biblical accounts of the visit   00:10
from Angel Gabriel to Mary the birth of Jesus  the appearance of angels to the Shepherds and   00:16
the wise men bringing gifts to baby Jesus these  passages from the Bible will help us understand   00:21
why Christmas was so important to our an ancestors  and why the birth of Jesus holds significance to 00:28
us Luke 1: 26-38 in the sixth month the angel  Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee   00:33
named Nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man  whose name was Joseph of the House of David and   00:53
the Virg virgin's name was Mary and he came to  her and said Greetings oh favored one the Lord   00:59
is with you but she was greatly troubled at the  saying and tried to discern what sort of greeting   01:05
this might be and the angel said to Hero not  be afraid Mary for you have found favor with   01:11
God and behold you will conceive in your womb and  bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus he   01:17
will be great and will be called the son of  the most high and the Lord God will give to   01:24
him him the Throne of his father David and he  will reign over the house of Jacob forever and   01:29
of his kingdom there will be no end and Mary  said to the angel how will this be since I'm   01:35
a virgin and the angel answered her the holy  spirit will come upon you and the power of the   01:41
most high will overshadow you therefore the child  to be born will be called holy the Son of God and   01:47
behold your relative Elizabeth in her old age has  also conceived a son and this is the sixth month   01:54
with her who was called Baron for nothing will be  impossible with God and Mary said behold I am the   02:01
servant of the Lord let it be to me according to  your word and the angel departed from her Luke 2:   02:09
1-7 in those days a decree went out from Caesar  Augustus that all the world should be registered   02:16
this was the first registration when quirinius was  governor of Syria and all went to be registered   02:23
each to his own town and Joseph also went up From  Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea to the   02:29
city of David which is called Bethlehem because  he was of the house and lineage of David to be   02:36
registered with Mary his betroth who was with  child and while they were there the time came   02:41
for her to give birth and she gave birth to her  firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths   02:47
and laid him in a Manger because there was no  place for them in the Inn Matthew 1 verses 18- 25   02:53
now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this  way when his mother Mary had been betrothed to   03:02
Joseph before they came together she was found to  be with child from the Holy Spirit and her husband   03:07
Joseph being a just man and unwilling to put her  to shame resolved to divorce her quietly but as   03:13
he considered these things behold an angel of the  Lord appeared to him in a dream saying Joseph son   03:19
of David do not fear to take Mary as your wife  for that which is conceived in her is from the   03:26
Holy Spirit she will bear a son and you shall  call his name Jesus for he will save his people   03:31
from their sins all this took place to fulfill  what the Lord had spoken by the prophet behold   03:37
the Virgin shall conceive and bear a son and they  shall call his name Emmanuel which means god with   03:44
us when Joseph woke from sleep he did as the  angel of the Lord commanded him he took his   03:50
wife but knew her not until she had given birth  to a son and he called his name Jesus Luke 2:   03:57
8- 21 and in the same region there were shepherds  out in the field keeping watch over their flock by   04:04
night and an angel of the Lord appeared to them  and the glory of the Lord Shone around them and   04:11
they were filled with fear and the angel said to  them fear not for behold I bring you good news of   04:17
great joy that will be for all the people for unto  you is Born This Day in the city of David a savior   04:23
who is Christ the lord and this will be a sign  for you you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling   04:30
cloths and lying in a manger and suddenly there  was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly   04:36
Host praising God and saying glory to God in the  highest and on Earth peace among those with whom   04:43
he is pleased when the angels went away from them  into heaven the Shepherds said to one another let   04:49
us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that  has happened which the the Lord has made known to   04:55
us and they went with haste and found Mary and  Joseph and the baby lying in a manger and when   05:00
they saw it they made known the saying that had  been told them concerning this child and all who   05:07
heard it wondered at what the Shepherds told them  but Mary treasured up all these things pondering   05:13
them in her heart and the Shepherds returned  glorifying and praising God for all they had   05:19
heard and seen as it had been told them and at  the end of 8 days when he was circumcised he was   05:24
called Jesus the name given by the angel before  he was conceived in the womb Matthew 2: 1-12 now   05:31
after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in  the days of Herod the king behold wise men from   05:41
the East came to Jerusalem saying where is he who  has been born King of the Jews for we saw his star   05:48
when it Rose and have come to worship him when  Herod the king heard this he was troubled and all   05:54
Jerusalem with him and assembling all the chief  priests and scribes of the people he inquired of   06:00
them where the Christ was to be born they told  him in Bethlehem of Judea for so it is written   06:06
by the prophet and you oh Bethlehem in the land  of Judah are by no means least among the rulers   06:12
of Judah for from you shall come a ruler who will  Shepherd My People Israel then Herod summoned the   06:19
wise men secretly and ascertained from them what  time the star had appeared and he sent them to   06:26
Bethlehem saying go and search diligently for  the child and when you have found him bring me   06:31
word that I too may come and worship him after  listening to the king they went on their way and   06:36
behold the star that they had seen when it Rose  went before them until it came to rest over the   06:43
place where the child was when they saw the star  they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy and going   06:48
into the house they saw the child with Mary his  mother and they fell down and wor woried him then   06:55
opening their Treasures they offered him gifts  gold and frankincense and myrrh and being warned   07:01
in a dream not to return to Herod they departed to  their own country by another way John 1: 1-18 in   07:07
the beginning was the word and the Word was with  God and the Word was God he was with God in the   07:16
beginning through him all things were made without  him nothing was made that has been made in him was   07:23
life and that life was the light of all mankind  the light shines in the darkness and the Darkness   07:29
has not overcome it there was a man sent from  God whose name was John he came as a witness to   07:36
testify concerning that light so that through him  all might believe he himself was not the light he   07:43
came only as a witness to the light the True Light  that gives light to everyone was coming into the   07:50
world he was in the world and the though the world  was made through him the world did not recognize   07:56
him he came to that which was his own but his own  did not receive him yet to all who did receive him   08:03
to those who believed in his name he gave the  right to become children of God children born   08:10
not of natural descent nor of human decision or  a husband's will but born of God the word became   08:16
flesh and made his dwelling among us we have seen  his glory the glory of the one and only son who   08:22
came came from the father full of grace and truth  John testified concerning him he cried out saying   08:29
this is the one I spoke about when I said he who  comes after me has surpassed me because he was   08:35
before me out of his fullness we have all received  Grace in place of Grace already given for the   08:41
law was given through Moses Grace and Truth came  through Jesus Christ no one has ever seen God but   08:48
the one and only son who is himself God and is in  closest relationship with the father has made him   08:56
known Mark 1: 14-15 after John was put in prison  Jesus went into Galilee proclaiming the good news   09:02
of God the time has come he said the kingdom of  God has come near repent and believe the good 09:12
news as we take a moment to contemplate Christmas  Day we realize that it is not merely a shallow   09:18
celebration it holds much greater significance  than that it defines our purpose and gives   09:35
direction to our life extending beyond our worldly  existence I suggest that you deepen your knowledge   09:42
about this great King by reading your Bible I wish  you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas 09:48

Key Grammar Structures

  • welcome back to the ancestral findings podcast

    ➔ Prepositional phrase + Gerund

    ➔ The phrase 'to the ancestral findings podcast' is a prepositional phrase, and the verb 'findings' is used as a gerund (a verb acting as a noun).

  • did your ancestors celebrate Christmas as I reminisce about my childhood

    ➔ Past Simple + as + Present Simple

    ➔ The sentence combines the past simple tense ('did celebrate') with the present simple ('I reminisce'), linked by 'as' to show two simultaneous actions or states. 'As' indicates a contrast or comparison.

  • today my plan is to read about the biblical accounts...

    ➔ Present Simple for future plans + Infinitive of purpose

    ➔ The use of 'is' (present simple) to describe a future plan. 'To read' is an infinitive of purpose, explaining the reason for the plan.

  • and the angel said to her Greetings oh favored one the Lord is with you

    ➔ Direct address + Relative Clause (implied)

    ➔ 'Greetings oh favored one' is a direct address. 'The Lord is with you' can be seen as a relative clause (who is favored), though it is not explicitly stated.

  • and the angel answered her the holy spirit will come upon you and the power of the most high will overshadow you

    ➔ Future Simple + Passive Voice (implied)

    ➔ 'Will come' and 'will overshadow' are future simple. The second part implies a passive voice, in that the speaker is affected by the power.

  • for nothing will be impossible with God

    ➔ Future Simple + Prepositional phrase

    ➔ Using 'will be' (future simple) combined with the prepositional phrase 'with God' to emphasize the context of the statement.

  • and she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths

    ➔ Past Simple + Compound Sentence + Past Participle

    ➔ Using Past Simple for actions in the past. It's a compound sentence because of the 'and' connector. 'Wrapped' is a past participle used here as a main verb, and can be seen as an action completed at that time.

  • she will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus for he will save his people from their sins

    ➔ Future Simple + Second person future tense + Conjunction 'for'

    ➔ The sentence employs 'will bear' and 'will save', both in the future simple tense. 'Shall call' is a more formal and archaic form of the future tense (second person). The use of 'for' introduces a reason or explanation.

  • and they fell down and wor woried him

    ➔ Past Simple + Repetition/Typo (wor woried)

    ➔ The sentence uses the past simple tense. The repetition of 'wor' and the incorrect spelling 'woried' (should be 'worshiped') likely indicates a typo.
