What have you learned about Joseph? What have you learned about Zechariah? What have you learned about Elizabeth? What have you learned about the angels? What have you learned about the shepherds and the wise men? What have you learned about Simeon and Anna? What have you learned about the Holy Spirit? What have you learned about God? Take some time to reread, to reflection, to meet with our Triune God and seek what he wants to…

    Simeon and Ananias Prophesy

              Luke 2:21-40 On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived.  When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem  to present him to the Lord (it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord).  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of  the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”  Now there was a man…

                 Matthew 2: 1-12 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east  came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?  We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”  When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him, when he had called together all the people’s  chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born.  “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:  But…

      Luke 1: 67-80                                                             And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit  and prophesied, saying, Blessed be the Lord’s God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all two hate us; to…

    But he considered these things, behold, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.  She will bear a son, and you shall call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord as spoken by the prophet:  Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel (which means, God with us).  When Joseph woke from  sleep, he did as the angel of the…

    Joseph: Part 1

      This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about:  His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together she was found to be what child thought the Holy Spirit.  Because Joseph her husband  was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.  Matthew 1: 18-19 Let’s start with a little history.  There are three steps to a Jewish marriage. Step 1: The families agree to the union Step 2: They make a public announcement At this point the couple are pledged to each other.  This is  like our present day…

    Mary:Part 5

      And Mary said, “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.  From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me – Holy is His name.  His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation.   He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; He has scattered those who are proud  their inmost thoughts.  He has lifted up the humble, He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.  He has helped his servant…
