Mary and Joseph (Matthew 1:18–25; Luke 1:26–38)
Brite Idea: Jesus is the Messiah.
Biblical Theme: God is a promise keeper.

An angel appeared to Mary, a young woman engaged to Joseph. He told her she would conceive a Son, Jesus. Jesus would be the Son of God and reign forever. When Joseph learned of Mary's pregnancy, he considered breaking off the engagement, but an angel appeared to him in a dream, confirming the Child was from God and that Jesus would save the people from their sins. Jesus was the promised Messiah!

The angel told both Mary and Joseph important things about who Jesus would be. Jesus would be the Son of God, He would rule forever, and He would forgive people of their sins. All of these descriptions pointed towards the Messiah. The name “Jesus” literally means “God is salvation.” Even Jesus’ name showed that He was the Messiah God had promised His people. God’s people had waited for hope and God was keeping His promise. Jesus would be the Messiah—the Savior who would rescue all people from sin.

Monthly Memory Verse: Isaiah 9:6
