The Promise of the Savior.
The promise of the Savior was a result of God’s love and mercy towards His people.
God through His mercy to save His people from this sinful world sent a wonderful message to Joseph through His angel. The angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream as being foretold by Prophet Isaiah, saying, “Joseph, son of David, fear not for your wife shall conceived in her of the Holy Spirit and she shall give birth to a son to be named Jesus ( for He shall save His people from sins” .
Angel appeared to Joseph.
The virgin birth of Jesus Christ was a special miracle by God in which the only begotten Son of God took on Himself a complete human nature and was born as a man.
When Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, he said, “I have a message for you from God!” Mary could hardly believe her ears. She felt scared and she wondered what the Angel could mean.
Angel Gabriel appeared to Mary
“Don’t be afraid, the Angel went on.” God knows all about you and He loves you. He has sent me to tell you that He has chosen you for a very special honor.
The baby will be God’s own Son and He will be called Emmanuel which means – “God with us”.
