Matthew 1:21 NIV
"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
Joseph was ready to give up on being married. He was going to put an end to his engagement by quietly sending Mary away. God intervenes by sending an angel.
Mary was to give birth to a son. Joseph was to name Him - Jesus. Jesus is a variation on the name Joshua which means the Lord saves. He was to be Immanuel. His task was to save His people - all people who will receive Him - from their sins.
We do not have the season without Christ. There would not be a Christmas without Him. There would not be gifts exchanged, holiday music, decorations, trees, and so much more without Him. We would not have education systems, America may not have been discovered and settled the way it was, scientific discoveries may not have come to being...
Jesus is worth celebrating. We owe a lot to Him. Attend church and start celebrating.
