MIRACULOUS BIRTH; LIFE CHANGING!

Matthew 1:18-21,23

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

[19]Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

[20]But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

[21]And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

[23]“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

Luke 1:26-28,31-33

[26]Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

[27]to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

[28]And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

[31]And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.

[32]He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

[33]And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

MARY, A FAVORED WOMAN!

Matthew 1:18-23

[18]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.

[19]Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly.

[20]But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

[21]And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

[22]So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying:

[23]“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

Luke 1:26-28,30-32

[26]Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

[27]to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

[28]And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”

[30]Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

[31]And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.

[32]He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.

[38]For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come...

[39]nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

[3]Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
