00:00:00,64 --> 00:00:04,32
Everybody Pastor Jack Swanson
pastor of the Unitarian

2
00:00:04,33 --> 00:00:08,50
a full church were located in the Connor
of beach street and Ross and Rona Wallace

3
00:00:09,10 --> 00:00:12,92
and I would like to read to you from the
canvassers in the Bible the Christmas

4
00:00:12,93 --> 00:00:19,20
story as it comes to us from the Gospel
of Matthew this begins just as dream. Now

5
00:00:19,21 --> 00:00:25,58
the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise
when asked his mother Mary was espoused

6
00:00:25,59 --> 00:00:31,13
to Joseph before they came together she was
found with child of the Holy Ghost and

7
00:00:31,14 --> 00:00:34,53
Joseph her husband being a just
man and not willing to make her

8
00:00:34,57 --> 00:00:40,100
a public example was minded to put her
away privilege. While he thought on these

9
00:00:41,01 --> 00:00:43,100
things the whole angel of
a lot appeared to him in

10
00:00:44,01 --> 00:00:50,68
a dream St Joseph Now son of Eve here not
to take and to be married I wife for that

11
00:00:50,69 --> 00:00:55,88
which is conceived in power is of the
Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth

12
00:00:55,92 --> 00:01:02,72
a son. Will call his name Jesus he
shall save his people from this and.

13
00:01:04,01 --> 00:01:08,90
Now all this was done that it might be
fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by

14
00:01:08,91 --> 00:01:13,86
the prophet saying Behold virgin shall
be with child shall bring forth

15
00:01:13,87 --> 00:01:15,97
a son and he shall call his name

16
00:01:15,98 --> 00:01:22,70
a menu well which being interpreted is
God with us. Then Joseph in raise from

17
00:01:22,71 --> 00:01:28,77
sleep did as the aims of the Lord had
bidden him and took under him his wife and

18
00:01:28,78 --> 00:01:34,03
they were not till she had brought forth
her first born son and called his name

19
00:01:34,82 --> 00:01:41,34
