Luke wrote his gospel, and although he is the only writer that got events in exact order of when they happened, he left out the entire story of the wise men.  But told of the baby in the manger and the shepherds seeing the angels who told them about the birth of Christ.

Matthew, on the other hand, left out the entire story of the shepherds and the angels appearing to them and the message they brought, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.  

But he told about the angel appearing to Joseph and telling him that Mary was pregnant with the Messiah.  And he wrote the story of the wise men, and about Herod hearing of the birth of a King and killing all of the babies that might be that king.

Luke told Mary's story.  Matthew told Joseph's story.  Mark and John told neither one of those stories.  They started almost immediately with the story of John the Baptist.

In a few days, we will celebrate the birth of that child, who grew in wisdom and died for us.  My friend Carolyn said, "He started up being swaddled in a manger, and ended up wrapped in cloth and placed in a borrowed tomb.

Glory to God in the highest and on earth, peace, good will toward men.
