The Messiah - born by a virgin

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother
Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she
was found with child of the Holy Spirit.

19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting
to make her a public example, was minded to put her away
secretly.

 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of
the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of
David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that
which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 

21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name
Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”

22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken
by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 “Behold, the virgin
shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name
Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the
Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 

25 and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son.
And he called His name Jesus.

Don´t take light on this story. It is not a fairy tale but
the true story behind why we celebrate Christmas.

The way Mary got pregnant opened the only way for
us to God, the only way to save us from eternal
damnation in hell.

Born by a woman, Jesus became a human and could
die for humans.

With God as his Father (conceived of the Holy Spirit),
Jesus was not part of a human sin heritage, like we are.

He strived unto blood to maintain a life without sin,
and by this he could finally, absolutely rightious him-
self, die on a cross of curse for sinful men and women.
