CHRISTMAS STORY
THE CHRISTMAS STORY
1. Mary __________________________________________________
Luke 1:26-31
26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a
man named Joseph, a descendant of David.
The virgin's name was Mary.
28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings,
you who are highly favored!
The Lord is with you." 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of
greeting this might be.
30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will
be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.
2. __________________________________________________
Luke 1:29-33
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 He has brought down
rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich
away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful 55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
even as he said to our fathers."
3. __________________________________________________
Luke 1:34-37
34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"
35 The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon
you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
36
Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month.
37 For nothing is impossible with God."
Matthew 1:20-23
20 But after he had considered 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 home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She will give
birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
22 All this took
place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son,
and they will call him Immanuel" - which means, "God with us."
Matthew 19:26
26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Hebrews 11:1-2, 6
1 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were
commended for.
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that
he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
4. Mary __________________________________________________
Luke 1:38-51
38 "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered.
"May it be to me as you have said."
Then the angel left her.
39 At that time
Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted
Elizabeth.
41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy
Spirit.
42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear!
43 But why
am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my
ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy.
45 Blessed is she who has believed that what the Lord has said to her will be
accomplished!"
46 And Mary said: "My soul glorifies the Lord 47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48 for he has
been mindful of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed, 49 for the Mighty One
has done great things for me - holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to
generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost
thoughts.
Luke 2:19
19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
