Meditating
on the Scriptures Together
1
John 4:9-10
[9] In this the love
of God
was made manifest
among us,
that God sent his
only Son into the world,
so that we might
live through him.
[10] In this is
love,
not that we have
loved God
but that he loved us
and sent his Son
to be the
propitiation for our sins.
Matthew
1:18-25
[18] Now the birth
of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been
betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be
with child from the Holy Spirit. [19] And her husband Joseph, being a
just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her
quietly. [20] But as 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. [21] She will bear a son, and you shall
call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
[22] All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the
prophet:
[23] “Behold, the
virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall
call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God
with us). [24] When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of
the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, [25] but knew her not until
she had given birth to a son. And he called his name Jesus.
