Understanding Christmas...from Genesis to Revelation (P6): "Close Encounters of a God-kind"

Key Bible Verses: "an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a Son; and you shall name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21 "...the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee named Nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name Joseph...and the virgin's name was Mary. Mary...he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you...Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and give birth to a son, and you shall name Him Jesus." from Luke 1: 26-31
