The Birth of Jesus Christ

 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit - Matthew 1:18.

And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins - Matthew 1:21.

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel - Isaiah 7:14.

Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus” - Luke 1:30-31.

So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us” - Matthew 1:22-23.

So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn - Luke 2:6-7.

Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people” - Luke 2:10.

For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord - Luke 2:11.

Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men! - Luke 2:14.

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them - Luke 2:20.

For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace - Isaiah 9:6.                                                     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for coming to this world as Savior to save us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
