Mary, the pregnant one

Good morning God!! At this time I ask a special prayer for my Aunt Betty. She had a stroke last Friday and is in very serious condition. Thank you.

Okay, this week we will talk about the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord and saviour as told by CHRISTIANANSWERS.NET. Credit is given to them and just a touch up for us how this season came about. Thank you for reading.

After seventy years of captivity, the Lord allowed His people to come back to the land of Israel. Only a small group chose to return, but they as well as Jews elsewhere, still lived under the rule of other nations...

Five hundred years later, when Rome ruled Israel, two young Jews named Joseph and Mary, both descendants of the royal line of David, planned to marry. But before they came together, Mary became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit of God.

Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, "Joseph, Don't worry about taking Mary as your wife: for the child in her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. The child is the Son of God. And when she gives birth to this son, you must name Him 'Jesus', which means Savior, for He will save His people from their sins."

This happened as the prophet Isaiah had foretold, The Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin will bare a son, and they will call Him Emmanuel, which means God with us."

Okay, we have the announcement of Mary becoming pregnant, so tomorrow we will begin with Mary and Joseph traveling to the city of Bethlehem. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
