Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. And welcome back to another mornings with the masters. We're

devote ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning, guys. I just had a funny moment because we just had like tacos. And I said,

good morning. I looked over at Tori and I breathed. And I was like, oh gosh, should I brush my teeth first?

I didn't smell it if it makes me feel anything. Praise God. The Lord gives and takes away.

Anyways, we're going to go and jump into our Advent reading and then we'll jump into the devotional.

God sent the angel Gabriel to Mary in the village of Nazareth.

The angel said, greetings, the Lord has blessed you and is with you.

You will give birth to a son and you are to name him Jesus.

He will be called son of the Most High and will reign forever.

His kingdom will never end. The angel also said

the holy one to be born to you will be God's son. Even your cousin Elizabeth is going to have a

child in her old age. Nothing is impossible with God. I am the Lord's servant, Mary answered.

May everything you've said come true. Then the angel left her. Mary hurried to visit her

relative Elizabeth. At the sound of Mary's greeting, the baby inside Elizabeth jumped for joy.

Elizabeth told Mary that she was blessed because she believed that what the Lord said to her would

really happen. Mary was engaged to a man named Joseph, but before they came together,

an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. The angel told him that Mary was to have a baby

from God. Joseph was to name the baby Jesus because he would save his people from their sins.

He would also be called Emmanuel, which means God with us. At that time, a decree said that

everyone had to go to his family's town to register. Joseph was from the family of David, so he and

Mary went to Bethlehem, which was David's home. While Joseph and Mary were in Bethlehem,

the time came for the baby to be born, and Mary gave birth to her firstborn, a son.
