learn about it.
Matthew 1:21 is spoken by an angel to a man named Joseph in a dream. Joseph was engaged to Mary, but before they were married, she became pregnant.
The angel tells Joseph (in Matthew 1:20) that the baby is "from the Holy Spirit," meaning, this is a divine conception! Mary is pregnant with the incarnate Son of God!
Joseph is told to marry Mary, and to name the child Jesus.
"Jesus" means "God saves." This baby is God on a mission: He will save God's people from sin and death! Merry Christmas indeed!
How will this child save us from sin and death? By taking our sin for us on a cross, dying in our place, and resurrecting to life again. All who believe in Jesus, then, will not die eternally, but live eternally with God.

from church history:
"For the human race would have perished utterly had not the Lord and Savior of all, the Son of God, come among us to put an end to death."
– Athanasius of Alexandria, from "On the Incarnation"

pray it.
One of the best ways to remember God’s Word is to pray it back to Him.
Each month, we’ll provide a short prayer based on the memory verse for you to use or adapt.
God, thank You for coming to save me!
Thank You for the Good News of Christmas – that when I was sure to die in my sin, Jesus arrived as my rescuer!
Thank You, God, that You did not forget about me or reject me or destroy me – but that You eternally prepared the way for me to have new and eternal life with You.
Thank You, Jesus, for Your loving willingness to stoop here, to me, in Your birth. To take on Yourself my sin and my death. To rise to new life so that I might be raised to new life.
Give me glad boldness to tell the Good News to others today!
Amen.
