God, the Holy Spirit, is the ultimate Author of Scripture. He is also the only adequate interpreter of Scripture. No human has full authority to interpret Scripture for another. Each person can rely on the Holy Spirit to guide into truth. That which we gain from the Spirit we should proclaim fervently and live out completely. We cannot force that belief on another, however, for as human interpreters under the Spirit, we remain open to misunderstanding. The Spirit seeks to bring glory to Jesus, so that all true interpretation of Scripture will glorify the Christ. Christ remains the ultimate revelation of God.
And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of Bethlehem; because he was of the house of David; to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she bought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
KJV Luke 2:4-7
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them; and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
KJV Luke 2:8-11
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace and good will toward men.
KJV Luke 2:14
