Our God Near At Hand

As the popular Christmas song goes, it is indeed beginning to look a lot like Christmas. It is a busy time of the year as we get closer to celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ into our world next week. The songs, decorations, and gift giving are now unmistakable as we approach this sacred and special day. Come join us this fourth Sunday of Advent as we celebrate the incarnation of God in our world and in our community.. 

Matthew 1:18-25 Our God near at hand

Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be pregnant from the Holy Spirit. Her husband Joseph, being a righteous man and unwilling to expose her to public disgrace, planned to divorce her quietly. But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: "Look, the virgin shall become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel," which means, "God is with us.” When Joseph awoke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him; he took her as his wife, but had no marital relations with her until she had borne a son; and he named him Jesus.
