The two areas I need to improve on is do more telling others and more meditation. I do a lot of talking to God but I don't always listen or wait on Him for the answers.

Savior, LORD, and Messiah.

Poor Mary was due to deliver any day, riding a donkey wasn't the most comfortable thing being in labor I'm sure! There is always hardships being a consistent Christian! It happened to Jesus, and all the believers past. Many don't believe the Good News and will argue with you, call you a flake and in some countries, put you in prison or kill you for your faith. If you just go with the flow, no feathers get ruffled and the True message doesn't get told.

By naming these rulers, it's another way of prooving that Jesus did exist.

Joseph was righteous and trusted God. Joseph was the legal father of Jesus, therfore, Jesus inherited what ever was Joseph's, including the lineage making Him a decendant of David.

The prophecy was fulfilled when Mary concieved and gave birth to Jesus and called him Immanuel (God is with us)

Jesus' Name means God Saves. I think that God giving the name to both Mary and Joseph seperately was a way of confirming that it was indeed from Him.

Mary's only other options were living with her parents, becoming a house servant, or a prostitute. Joseph showed trust in his God, mercy, and love for Mary.

Jesus learned the trade himself. He learned the skills of patience, listening,careful planning,dedication,and hard work.

These titles are appropriate to describe who Mary was and is. I think we hesitate because people may think we're worshipping Mary like we worship God.

Mary's response was total trust. We should be just as willing to trust and obey God! Mary accepted when she said, " Let it be as you said. I am the hand maiden of the Lord." We consent to obeying God.

[/font] Jesus is Holy, the true Son of God. The Christian message is built on the truth of the Virgin birth, proving Jesus is the Son of God.

Mary's question rose from Faith, but Zexhariah's question rose from Unbelief.

Ruler over the house of David, the forever King over the house of Jacob, and the Son of God.

I need to start living more holy, being about the Lords business. Praying more, reaching out more, sharing the gospel with others and living according to the life of Jesus!
