    Reflection Day

    It is the Day after Christmas Day.  Today, I would love for you to take some time and ponder on the last 25 days of Devotions. What have you learn about Jesus? His birth? What have you learned about Mary? 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…

    Simeon and Annas’ Prophesies

              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…

      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…

    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…
