There is one line that is common to both Matthew's and Luke's birth accounts: the words of the angel, "Do not be afraid." Those are words rooted in God’s promise to Mary and Joseph.

We rejoice in God changing everything when He comes to save in Jesus.

Marriage is a divine institution built on fundamental and unchanging realities that convey great blessings, which we can only receive according to God’s institution
