"The fact that Jesus’ human life began when He was ‘conceived by the Holy Spirit’ affirms that human life is present at the moment of conception. "Elizabeth and her unborn son John acknowledge Jesus as already existing within Mary (Luke 1:39-45). Since Mary left to visit Elizabeth immediately after the message from the angel, Jesus may not even have been implanted in her uterus when this encounter took place! "To accomplish our salvation, Jesus shared in our humanity (Hebrews 2:14). He became like us in every respect except He was without sin (Hebrews 4:15). "Since we are sinful from the moment of conception (Psalm 51:5), we are human beings in need of salvation from the moment of conception. Jesus had to begin as we did." Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, Executive Director, Lutherans For Life

	Brochure: Joseph and His Rib – Joseph, a young man from the house of David, was probably like every other soon-to-be husband–nervous, but excited all the same. That is until his fiancée came to him with shocking news. Mary was pregnant, but Joseph was not the father. The world, as Joseph knew it, had collapsed around him. He felt betrayed, hurt, angry. Break the engagement and walk away from this woman, whispered his pride. Everything had changed. Plans were ruined. Reputation was at stake. Uncharted territory lay ahead. At this precarious moment in his life, Joseph had nothing to hang on to―nothing, that is, except the Word of the Lord. By Linda Bartlett. Item 904T. $0.25 ea.
