Luke 1:30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.

Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Luke 2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cae’sar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David.) 5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

There really was a baby born to a virgin. His name was Jesus. He lived a sinless life. He died on a cross. His death paid the penalty for our sins. He rose from the grave. He is alive. He now sits at the right hand of God the Father. He is coming back someday. It’s a sure thing.

till next time…

Thanks for reminding us, Sally. The angel's words to Mary, "thou hast found favor with God", must have been confusing to the young, probably teenage girl - especially when followed with the news that she would become a mother. Here she was unmarried and with child - certainly not a situation you would want to be found in in that day or culture. Yet the angel said she had found favor with God. God's favor can take some interesting turns and place us in situations we wouldn't necessarily choose. I'm glad Mary accepted God's plan for her life to bring our Redeemer into this world. Her willingness to be God's vessel should be a lesson to us all. Merry CHRISTmas, Janice Crow
