The Birth of Jesus the Messiah Ochando, New Washington, Aklan

Matthew 1:18-25

This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother,

Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the
marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became
pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her
fiancé, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her
publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly.

As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared

to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do
not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within
her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a
son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his
people from their sins.”

All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message

through his prophet: “For a Child is born to us, a Son in given to us… And He
will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
“Look! The virgin will conceive a child! Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
She will give birth to a son, Isaiah 9:6
and they will call him Immanuel,
which means ‘God is with us.’”

When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the

Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not
have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Speaker: Pastor Chobelle Joy M. Ferrer
