In the sixth month the angel\\xa0Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named\\xa0Nazareth,\\xa027\\xa0to a virgin betrothed\\xa0to a man whose name was Joseph,\\xa0of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.\\xa028\\xa0And he came to her and said, \\u201cGreetings,\\xa0O favored one,\\xa0the Lord is with you!\\u201d\\xa029\\xa0But\\xa0she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.\\xa030\\xa0And the angel said to her, \\u201cDo not be afraid, Mary, for\\xa0you have found favor with God.\\xa031\\xa0And behold,\\xa0you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and\\xa0you shall call his name Jesus.\\xa032\\xa0He will be great and will be called the Son of\\xa0the Most High. And the Lord God\\xa0will give to him the throne of\\xa0his father David,\\xa033\\xa0and he will reign over the house of Jacob\\xa0forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.\\u201d 34\\xa0And Mary said to the angel, \\u201cHow will this be, since I am a virgin?\\u201d 35\\xa0And the angel answered her,\\xa0\\u201cThe Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of\\xa0the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born\\xa0will be called\\xa0holy\\u2014the Son of God.Luke 1:26-35(ESV)

He is the image of\\xa0the invisible God,\\xa0the firstborn of all creation.\\xa016\\xa0For byhim all things were created,\\xa0in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether\\xa0thrones or\\xa0dominions or rulers or authorities\\u2014all things were created\\xa0through him and for him.\\xa017\\xa0And\\xa0he is before all things, and in him all things\\xa0hold together.\\xa018\\xa0And\\xa0he is the head of the body, the church. He is\\xa0the beginning,\\xa0the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.\\xa019\\xa0For\\xa0in him all the\\xa0fullness of God was pleased to dwell\\u2026 Colossians 1:15-19 (ESV)

\\u201cA man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic\\u2014on the level with the man who says he is a poached egg\\u2014or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.

You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. . . . Now it seems to me obvious that He was neither a lunatic nor a fiend: and consequently, however strange or terrifying or unlikely it may seem, I have to accept the view that He was and is God.\\u201d \\u2013 C.S. Lewis

In the beginning was\\xa0the Word, and\\xa0the Word was with God, and\\xa0the Word was God.\\xa02\\xa0He was in the beginning with God.\\xa03\\xa0All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.\\xa04\\xa0In him was life,\\xa0and\\xa0the life was the light of men.\\xa05\\xa0The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 14\\xa0And\\xa0the Word\\xa0became flesh and\\xa0dwelt among us,\\xa0and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son\\xa0from the Father, full of\\xa0grace and\\xa0truth.John 1:1-5(ESV)
