"Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit; She will bear a son and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” Gospel of Matthew 1:20-21 This took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" Gospel of John 1:28-29 Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ entered time and history through the Incarnation. "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God (Matthew 16:16), is a gift of love from the Father for the salvation of the world (John 3:16-17), the one who died for all of mankind, our "Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ" (Philippians 3:20).
