Mary Did You Know?

And Mary said, "Behold, I am a handmaiden of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word."
~ Luke 1:38

And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour."
~ Luke 1:46-47



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 his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet: "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call him Immanuel" (which means, God with us).
~ Matthew 1:20-23

And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear.  And the angel said to them, "Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord."
~ Luke 2:10-11

This baby was born...

Thus it is written, that the Christ (messiah) should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all the nations.
~ Luke 24:46

... to die for our sins.

Let us remember that the Son of God left heaven and became man so that he could shed his blood and give his life so that we may have forgiveness of sins and life eternal. He has given us the greatest gift of all ~ salvation though faith.
