” This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her fiancé, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.
As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared him in a dream. “ Joseph, son of David,’ the angel said, Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save the people from their sins.’ All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through his prophet: ‘Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means God with us.’
When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus. Matthew 1:18-24
It was on this day, the day our Savior Jesus Christ was born, that the people of this earth were given the chance of a second birth. It is through this one man, that life everlasting became a reality. It is because of this one man’s actions, his life and his death that you and I are given the ability to believe and be saved. We celebrate his birth! Our Lord who saves us, heals us and forgives us! MERRY CHRISTMAS AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT JESUS IS LORD!
