First part of 'THE TRUE CHRISTMAS!'

As Mary travelled on the back of the donkey she recalled the events of the last 9 months - The angel Gabriel - Joseph's dream - and the growing child within her womb, the future Saviour of the world..............LUKE 1:26..."the ANGEL GABRIEL was sent from God...27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the VIRGIN'S name was MARY... 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women...30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God....31 And, behold, thou shalt CONCEIVE in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS...34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The HOLY GHOST shall COME UPON THEE, and the POWER OF THE HIGHEST shall overshadow thee: therefore also that HOLY thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God....37 FOR WITH GOD NOTHING SHALL BE IMPOSSIBLE"...38 And Mary said, 'Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.' And the angel departed from her"................... Mary remembered Joseph's shock when she told him of her pregnancy, and how the angel had spoken to her. Being a very upright man, Joseph had at first thought to quietly end the betrothal to Mary. BUT God had sent an angel to speak to Joseph in a dream, assuring him that the baby was indeed the promised Messiah, conceived of the Holy Spirit, and Mary was still a virgin....She remembered the joy of their marriage, even though they were not intimate as yet. She still could hardly believe the honor of being chosen to be the Mother of the Messiah, but also rememberd the pain of family and friends who disbelieved Joseph and her account of the truth....But in spite of this Mary thought deeply about how they would care for, and raise this special and unique child entrusted to them.
