Recording<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n God With Us\n Matthew 1:18-25\n 12\/24\/2024\n\n\n 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this\n way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to\n Joseph, before they came together she was found to\n be with child from the Holy Spirit.\n 19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and\n unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce\n her quietly.\n 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an\n angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream,\n saying, ``Joseph, son of David, do not fear to\n take Mary as your wife, for that which is\n conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.\n 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name\n Jesus, for he will save his people from their\n sins.''\n 22 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had\n spoken by the prophet:\n 23 ``Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a\n son, and they shall call his name Immanuel,''\n (which means, God with us).\n 24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel\n of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife,\n 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a\n son. And he called his name Jesus. (ESV)\n\n Saint Matthew wrote:\n Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way.\n When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph,\n before they came together she was found to be with\n child from the Holy Spirit.

Amen.[1]\n\n\n Please join us this evening at 7:00 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran\n Church to hear the message of God's rich grace, love, and mercy.\n May our Lord grant you a blessed Christmas. Christ the Savior is\n born. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
