The birth of Jesus is a beautiful story of faith and trust. Joseph exemplified it when Mary was with child and they were not married yet. Joseph was a righteous man and wanted to protect Mary from the town scrutiny for her condition was scandalous. But the angel of the Lord told him the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit and the baby would be born a son and they were to call him Jesus and he would save people from their sins. Joseph listened to the commandment of the Lord and took Mary as his wife and indeed named Him Jesus. So as we celebrate this precious life that was given to us, I pray we all know the true meaning of Christmas and what a gift this baby's birth truly was. Happy Birthday Jesus!
Matthew 1: 18-25
