none but jesus

Der Herr ist mein Hirt; darum leide ich keine Not.
Er bringt mich auf saftige Weiden, lässt mich ruhen am frischen Wasser
und gibt mir neue Kraft. Auf sicheren Wegen leitet er mich, dafür bürgt er mit seinem Namen.
Und muss ich auch durchs finstere Tal – ich fürchte kein Unheil! Du, Herr, bist ja bei mir; du schützt mich und du führst mich, das macht mir Mut. Vor den Augen meiner Feinde deckst du mir deinen Tisch; festlich nimmst du mich bei dir auf und füllst mir den Becher randvoll.
Deine Güte und Liebe umgeben mich an jedem neuen Tag; in deinem Haus darf ich nun bleiben mein Leben lang.
Psalm 23



amen.

happy birthday jesus

This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.

 Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce herquietly.

 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.

 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.

All this took place to fulfil what the Lord had said through the prophet:

 The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel- which means, God with us.

When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.

But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. 

Matthew 1, 18-24
