The Christmas Season is in full bloom. Our Church service started today with a Christmas Carol. The preacher followed with scripture beginning in the first chapter of Luke when the Angel appeared to Mary. As I studied the reading further, I put into verse the following:
The Angel to Mary
“You have found favor
And will bear a Savior.
The child will be the Son of God.“
Mary was troubled but awed.
The Angel said,
“Word will spread,
But there is no need to fear
The Lord will be near.
He will be with you,
And carry you through.
Your baby will be the Christ child,
Remaining undefiled.
Name Him Jesus!
He will become great, a royal king;
At birth, the angels will sing.
He will be holy,
Though born lowly.
Shepherds will draw nigh
To see this Son of the Most High.
As God’s own,
He will receive a throne,
Reign forever and evermore
After unrighteous sins He has bore.”

“And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call His name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to Him a throne…and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end… Therefore the child to be born will be called holy-the Son of God.” Luke 1:31-33,35b
