God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth,
a town in Galilee,
to a virgin pledged to be married
to a man named Joseph,
a descendant of David. The virgin’s
name was Mary.
The angel went to her and said, “Greetings,
you who are highly favored!
The Lord is with you.”
Mary was greatly troubled at his words
and wondered
what kind of greeting this might be.
But the angel said to her,
“Do not be afraid,Mary; you have found
favor with God. You will conceive and
give birth to a son, and you are to
call him Jesus. He will be great and
will be called the Son of the Most High.
The Lord God will give him the throne of
his father David, and he will reign over
Jacob’s descendants forever;
his kingdom will never end.”
“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel,
“since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit
will come on you, and the power
of the Most High will overshadow you. So
the holy one to be born will be called
the Son of God.
Luke 1: 26-35 NIV

Sharing with:
GOD in the flesh. Christ our Savior experienced everything mankind would experience, yet He was without sin. He became sin for us by taking all of our sin upon Him so we could be saved! I praise His Holy Name that His Holy Spirit led me to the truth of His salvation for me. That's what Christmas means to me! Love you, Susan
