We all certainly know the name Jesus today. But who picked that name for the Son of God?

God picked the name. An angel relayed it to Joseph when the angel spoke to him in a dream.

Matthew 1:21

We often read Mathew 1:19 at Christmas services.  We have all heard that Joseph resolved to divorce Mary quietly.  Why was this an especially merciful choice by Joseph?

It was very merciful because Mary should not have been pregnant. Joseph thought that she had been unfaithful to him.  He could have had her stoned to death for adultery. Both of Jesus earthly parents were especially obedient to God.

Deuteronomy 22:23-24

It was King Ahaz.  God told him that Jesus would be born of a virgin.

Hello

This week I’m  on the road to sing at my friends annual Christmas banquet.  There are a couple of worship teams singing also I sing as well. I like to sing, have several friends down here, and can do some website PR, so that’s 3 good reasons to go. Basically had a lot of fun singing, and visiting. I’ll try to get questions up on time but it may be hit or miss.  I will get caught up Monday I’m taking a day off.

This week is trivia on the birth of Jesus.  Next Sunday is Christmas  so we can get a week of trivia  facts to amaze or annoy your family and friends. Personally I just shrug and say “I run a trivia site what do you expect”.

The Picture is: Aspen Grove Church in Alexandria Kentucky. My hosts for the weekend. Taken by your author. There may be a delay in posting it.

Thanks so much for reading and I hope you have a good day at church.
