The History of Christmas - Part I
“Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her,
‘Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!’
Then the angel said to her,
‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
—Luke 1:26-33 (NKJV)

You know, we just read this stuff and blast right past it, knowin g how the whole story goes and all, but really, a 14 year old girl, told she is going to be pregnant, that He will be the Son of God, etc...she really handled it well, don't you think?
