Merry Christmas! Think about this a minute with me. Christmas is a celebration of Jesus Christ's birthday. It is mind blowing but true, to think that God who was never born, thus never had a birthday, came to earth in the form of his son Jesus. Think about this, Mary who was a virgin and engaged to be married to Joseph, conceived the baby from the Holy spirit, who is God! Amazing, God came to earth in the form of a man. God gave me and you Jesus. The savior of the world.
Check this out in our scripture for today from the book of Matthew, chapter 1:18-24
18This is how Jesus Christ was born. A young woman named Mary was engaged to Joseph from King David's family. But before they were married, she learned that she was going to have a baby by God's Holy Spirit. 19Joseph was a good man and did not want to embarrass Mary in front of everyone. So he decided to quietly call off the wedding. 20While Joseph was thinking about this, an angel from the Lord came to him in a dream. The angel said, "Joseph, the baby that Mary will have is from the Holy Spirit. Go ahead and marry her. 21Then after her baby is born, name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." 22So the Lord's promise came true, just as the prophet had said, 23"A virgin will have a baby boy, and he will be called Immanuel," which means "God is with us."
24After Joseph woke up, he and Mary were soon married, just as the Lord's angel had told him to do. 25But they did not sleep together before her baby was born. Then Joseph named him Jesus.
