The Birth of Jesus Christ

      2000 years ago, God sent the angel Gabriel to a town in Galilee named Nazareth. He had a message for a young woman, Mary, who promised in marriage to a man named Joseph, who was a descendant of King David. The angel said to her, "Don't be afraid, Mary. You will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus -- because He will save his people from their sins."

      Now what the Lord had said through the prophet come true, "A virgin will become pregnant and have a son, and he will be called Immanuel" (which means, "God is with us").
