Jesus Christ Is Born
Matthew
1:18-25 (NIRV)
This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about. His mother Mary and
Joseph had promised to get married. But before they started to live
together, it became clear that she was going to have a baby. She became
pregnant by the power of the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph was a godly
man. He did not want to put her to shame in public. So he planned to
divorce her quietly.

But as Joseph was thinking about this, an angel of God appeared to
him in a dream. The angel said, "Joseph, son of David, don't be
afraid to take Mary home as your wife. The baby inside her is from the
Holy Spirit. She is going to have a son. You must give him the name
Jesus. That is because he will save his people from their sins."
The name Jesus means "God saves."
All of this took place to bring about what God had said would happen.
God had said through the prophet, "The virgin is going to have a
baby. She will give birth to a son. And he will be called
Immanuel."—(Isaiah 7:14) The name Immanuel means "God
with us."
Joseph woke up. He did what the angel of God commanded him to do. He
took Mary home as his wife. But he did not make love to her until after
she gave birth to a son. And Joseph gave him the name Jesus.

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.
Silent night, holy night,
Shepherds quake at the sight.
Glory streams from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia;
Christ the Savior is born!
Christ the Savior is born! |
