A Whisper of Truth

A Mere Whisper of Truth as to His Birth.
What perfection and perfections we find in the Gospel accounts. The narrative in each is determined by the writers presentation of the Person of Christ. For He has the pre-eminence in each and all of them, as he must!
In reference to His birth into this scene it is instructive to see this principle regarding the peculiar way in which He is set forth by the individual writer.
The promise of His birth as recorded in Matthew, who presents the Lord Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, is revealed to Joseph, thus establishing His lineage.
While the visit of Gentile Magi is recorded in this same Gospel, though primarily addressed to Jews. The magi worship Him as King!
In Lukes' Gospel account, addressed in the first instance to Gentiles, He is worshipped as the lowly Babe in manhood, for Luke presents Him as Son of Man. The revelation of His birth is here vouchsafed to Mary, as His humanity is traced through her.
