Natal
O Natal celebra o maior milagre da história: Deus se fez homem. O menino Jesus, nascido em Belém, é Emanuel — Deus conosco — a esperança do mundo inteiro.
O nascimento do Salvador
O anjo anunciou: hoje vos nasceu um Salvador, que é Cristo, o Senhor! A virgem concebeu pelo Espírito Santo e deu à luz o Filho de Deus.
10 Then the angel said to them, "Stop being afraid! Listen! I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people.
11 Today your Savior, Christ the Lord, was born in the city of David.
4 Joseph, too, went up from the city of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was a descendant of the household and family of David.5 He went there to be registered with Mary, who had been promised to him in marriage and was pregnant.
6 While they were there, the time came for her to have her baby,7 and she gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was not any room for them in the inn.
A profecia cumprida
Isaías profetizou: a virgem conceberá e dará à luz um filho que se chamará Emanuel. Em Jesus, essa promessa se cumpriu perfeitamente.
20 After he had thought about it, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he is the one who will save his people from their sins."
22 Now all this happened to fulfill what was declared by the Lord through the prophet when he said,23 "See, a virgin will become pregnantand give birth to a son, and they will name him Immanuel,"which means, "God with us."
Glória a Deus nas alturas
Os pastores glorificaram a Deus e os anjos cantaram: 'Glória a Deus nas alturas e paz na terra entre os homens a quem Ele quer bem!'
14 "Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to people who enjoy his favor!"
20 Then the shepherds returned to their flock, glorifying and praising God for everything they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.
