12/21 Matthew 1:18-21
The Birth of Jesus the Messiah
18 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. 19 Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement[a] quietly.
20 As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to 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. 21 And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus,[b] for he will save his people from their sins.”
CHRIST
Born to Mary, wife of Joseph, a virgin.
He was the Son of God.
He came to bring us back to Himself-to save us from our sin.
We are separated from God Jesus will pay the cost of that separation,
When as an adult He will die for our sin,
Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life,
There is no other way to the Father.
