Intro – Here is Bill Shade with today’s “Moment from God’s Word”.

Message – At this Christmas season I thought it would be well to once again ask the central question raised by a holiday popular with Christians and pagans alike, Who is this baby whose birthday we celebrate? Who is Jesus Christ?

Last week we heard Matthew’s answer – this week let’s listen as His mother herself answers the question as related to Dr. Luke. He writes: And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.

And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.

Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 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.

That is the answer of Jesus mother and she ought to know – but it still leaves us with this question, What is your answer? Who is Jesus Christ?
