Sermon Description

Matt 1:18-24

• 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 
• 19 And Joseph her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. 
• 20 But when he thought on these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 
• 21 And she shall bring forth a son; and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for it is he that shall save his people from their sins. 
• 22 Now all this is come to pass, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 
• 23 Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us. 
• 24 And Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took unto him his wife

Isa 7:14

• 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matt 2:6

• 6 And thou Bethlehem, land of Judah, Art in no wise least among the princes of Judah: For out of thee shall come forth a governor, Who shall be shepherd of my people Israel.

Luke 1:1-7

• 1 For as much as many have taken in hand to draw up a narrative concerning those matters which have been fulfilled among us, 
• 2 even as they delivered them unto us, who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word, 
• 3 it seemed good to me also, having traced the course of all things accurately from the first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus; 
• 4 that thou mightest know the certainty concerning the things wherein thou wast instructed. 
• 5 There was in the days of Herod, king of Judæa, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abijah: and he had a wife of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. 
• 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 
• 7 And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were now well stricken in years.

Luke 1:39-45

• 39 And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judah; 
• 40 and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabeth. 
• 41 And it came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit; 
• 42 and she lifted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 
• 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come unto me? 
• 44 For behold, when the voice of thy salutation came into mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. 
• 45 And blessed is she that believed; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord.
