The Christmas Story

1 John 4:7-16

Matthew 1:18-25

7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
