Read Matthew 1:18-25
18 This
was how the birth of Jesus Christ took place. His mother Mary was engaged to
Joseph, but before they were married, she found out that she was going to have
a baby by the Holy Spirit. 19Joseph was a man who always did
what was right, but he did not want to disgrace Mary publicly; so he made plans
to break the engagement privately. 20While he was thinking about
this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph,
descendant of David, do not be afraid to take Mary to be your wife. For it is
by the Holy Spirit that she has conceived. 21She will have a son,
and you will name him Jesus—because he will save his people from their sins.”
22 Now
all this happened in order to make what the Lord had said through the prophet
come true, 23“A virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and he will
be called Immanuel” (which means, “God is with us”).
24 So
when Joseph woke up, he married Mary, as the angel of the Lord had told him to
do. 25But
he had no sexual relations with her before she gave birth to her son. And
Joseph named him Jesus. [1]
Think
Merry Christmas! God
is with us.
Pray
Give thanks this day for the gift of Jesus with us.
