Choose
Life… The Christmas
storytellers, Matthew and Luke begin with Jesus’ conception. When Matthew sets out to
tell us about the Nativity, he first talks of events taking place during the pregnancy.
Luke gives us even more details of the pregnancy. The message? Jesus was conceived through
the power of the Holy Spirit. He was God from the moment of conception. [Life Date, The National
Newsletter of Lutherans for Life, Winter, 1998]
