The Birth of Jesus the Messiah

The Birth of Jesus the Messiah

The prophet Isaiah never saw the Messiah; but he faithfully delivered the Word of the Lord.

(In the book of…)

Isaiah 7:14–17 (NLT)

(Isaiah said to Israel…)

The Lord Himself will give you…

…the sign. 

Look! 

The virgin will conceive a Child! 

She will give birth to a Son and will call Him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’). 

By the time this Child is old enough to choose what is right and reject what is wrong, He will be eating yogurt and honey. 

For before the Child is that old, the lands of the two kings you fear so much will both be deserted. 

“Then the Lord will bring things on you, your nation, and your family unlike anything since Israel broke away from Judah. 

(The prophecy is fulfilled in Yeshua of Nazareth, as described in the gospel of…)

Matthew 1:18–25 (NLT)

This is how Jesus the Messiah was born (Matthew writes).

His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. 

But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. 

Joseph, to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. 

As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream… “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said,…

“…do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife… 
…For the Child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit…
…And she will have a Son, and you are to name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” 

All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord’s message through His prophet (Isaiah): 

“Look! 

The virgin will conceive a Child! 

She will give birth to a Son, 

and they will call Him Immanuel, 
(which means ‘God is with us.’ )” 

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

But he did not have sexual relations with her until her Son was born. 

…and Joseph named Him Yeshua.

This is the beginning of the Gospel of the Christian Bible.

Praise be to God!

1427- Isaiah 42 part 2

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 2 Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises, from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Join in the chorus, you desert towns; let the villages of Kedar rejoice! Let the people of Sela sing for joy; shout praises from the mountaintops! Let the whole world glorify the Lord; let it sing his praise. The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry; and He crush all his enemies. He will say, “I have long been silent; yes, I have restrained myself. But now, like a woman in labor, I will cry and groan and pant. I will level the mountains and hills and blight all their greenery. I will turn the rivers into dry land and will dry up all the pools. I will lead blind Israel down a new path, guiding them along an unfamiliar way. I will brighten the darkness before them and smooth out the road ahead of them. Yes, I will indeed do these things; ...

1426 - Isaiah 42 part 1

Isaiah Chapter 42 part 1  “Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, who pleases me. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout, or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed, or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all, who have been wronged. He will not falter or lose heart, until justice prevails, throughout the earth. Even distant lands, beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.*” God, the Lord, created the heavens, and stretched them out. He created the earth and everything in it. He gives breath to everyone, life to everyone who walks the earth. And it is he who says, “I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations. You will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from prison, rele...

1251 - Psalm 102 (part-1)

Psalm 102 (part-1) A prayer of one overwhelmed with trouble, pouring out problems before the Lord. Lord, hear my prayer! Listen to my plea! Don’t turn away from me, in my time of distress. Bend down to listen, and answer me quickly when I call to you. For my days disappear like smoke, and my bones burn like red-hot coals. My heart is sick, withered like grass, and I have lost my appetite. Because of my groaning, I am reduced to skin and bones. I am like an owl in the desert, like a little owl in a far-off wilderness. I lie awake, lonely as a solitary bird on the roof. My enemies taunt me day after day. They mock and curse me. I eat ashes for food. My tears run down into my drink, because of your anger and wrath. For you have picked me up and thrown me out. My life passes as swiftly as the evening shadows. I am withering away like grass. But you, O Lord, will sit on your throne forever. Your fame will endure to every generation. You will arise and have mercy on Jerusalem*—and now is the...
