Tonight Our Christ Lord and Savior is born. He will be born unto the Virgin Mary and Joseph in the town of Bethelehem. The Angel Gabriel visited Mary one day and says" Greeting! O highly favored one, The Lord is with thee" (Luke 1:28) " Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid,Mary; you have found favor with God. You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. For no word from God will ever fail.”
“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her."(Luke 1:29-38) Thus as time goes on Mary visits Elizabeth, and stays with her for a while, and during that time John The Baptist is born. Mary returns home, and is physically pregnant, Joseph thinks Mary has had relations with another man and had planned to divorce her quietly, but man angel appeared in Joseph's dream one night, and explained everything. The census was coming soon, and he went and took Mary along. Christmas Eve is the night of His birth. Mary and Joseph were turned away from an inn but were thankful enough to stay in a stable. Later that night Mary gave birth to a healthy baby boy and named Him Jesus meaning " He Saves" and laid Him in a manger. During this time 3 Magis are making their way to visit the Newborn King and brought Him gifts of gold, myrrh,and frankincense. Shepherds came to pay their respects as we'll due to the fact angel appeared and made a huge announcement which left many in awe. This night was special because He would be the one to redeem the world one day.
