Video Jesus Christ present among His people and in and Podium commentator delivers the
the world. The Incarnation was not a temporary Lights intro
visit; it is God's commitment to remain "until the
end of the age" (Mt 28:20). Thus He is truly
Emmanuel, God-with-us; His being "with us" is
constant, assured and assuring. This message
is very timely in the face of people's worries and
anxieties, and of the many disasters and
dysfunctions in the world today. That Jesus the
Word of God is always dwelling in our midst is
truly good news for all.

Introductory Commentator Tonight, we are witnesses to an event that no Title Card and Podium
Rites one ever dared to imagine. Though almighty Lights
and powerful, God strips himself of his glory and
makes himself small. In the process, he suffers
from the cold, from the rejection of people, from
the agony of the cross. Yes, God is so much in
love with us that he wants to be near us, to be
one of us.

For Zion's sake I will not be silent,

for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet,

Nations shall behold your vindication,

and all the kings your glory;
you shall be called by a new name
pronounced by the mouth of the LORD.
You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the
LORD,
a royal diadem held by your God.
No more shall people call you "Forsaken,"
or your land "Desolate,"
but you shall be called "My Delight,"
and your land "Espoused."
For the LORD delights in you
and makes your land his spouse.
As a young man marries a virgin,
your Builder shall marry you;
and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride
so shall your God rejoice in you.

Acts (Read from the Lectionary)
13:16-17,
22-25 When Paul reached Antioch in Pisidia and
entered the synagogue,
he stood up, motioned with his hand, and said,
"Fellow Israelites and you others who are
God-fearing, listen.
The God of this people Israel chose our
ancestors and exalted the people during their
sojourn in the land of Egypt.
With uplifted arm he led them out of it.
Then he removed Saul and raised up David as
king; of him he testified,
'I have found David, son of Jesse, a man after
my own heart; he will carry out my every wish.'
From this man's descendants God, according to
his promise, has brought to Israel a savior,
Jesus. John heralded his coming by proclaiming
a baptism of repentance to all the people of
Israel; and as John was completing his course,
he would say, 'What do you suppose that I am?
I am not he. Behold, one is coming after me;
I am not worthy to unfasten the sandals of his
feet.'"

The Word of the Lord.

Matthew 1:1-25
All: And with your spirit

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to

Matthew.

All: Glory to you, O Lord.

The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,

the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Abraham became the father of Isaac,

Isaac the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers.
Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah,
whose mother was Tamar.
Perez became the father of Hezron,
Hezron the father of Ram,
Ram the father of Amminadab.
Amminadab became the father of Nahshon,
Nahshon the father of Salmon,
Salmon the father of Boaz,
whose mother was Rahab.
Boaz became the father of Obed,
whose mother was Ruth.
Obed became the father of Jesse,
Jesse the father of David the king.

David became the father of Solomon,

whose mother had been the wife of Uriah.
Solomon became the father of Rehoboam,
Rehoboam the father of Abijah,
Abijah the father of Asaph.
Asaph became the father of Jehoshaphat,

9
SEQUENCE KEY PAX SCRIPT SCREEN AUDIO LIGHTS NOTES

Jehoshaphat the father of Joram,

Joram the father of Uzziah.
Uzziah became the father of Jotham,
Jotham the father of Ahaz,
Ahaz the father of Hezekiah.
Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh,
Manasseh the father of Amos,
Amos the father of Josiah.
Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and
his brothers
at the time of the Babylonian exile.

After the Babylonian exile,

Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel,
Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,
Zerubbabel the father of Abiud.
Abiud became the father of Eliakim,
Eliakim the father of Azor,
Azor the father of Zadok.
Zadok became the father of Achim,
Achim the father of Eliud,
Eliud the father of Eleazar.
Eleazar became the father of Matthan,
Matthan the father of Jacob,
Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of
Mary.
Of her was born Jesus who is called the
Christ.

Thus the total number of generations

from Abraham to David is fourteen
generations;
from David to the Babylonian exile,
fourteen generations;
from the Babylonian exile to the Christ,
fourteen generations.

Now this is how the birth of Jesus Christ came

about.

SEQUENCE KEY PAX SCRIPT SCREEN AUDIO LIGHTS NOTES

When his mother Mary was betrothed to

Joseph, but before they lived together,
she was found with child through the Holy
Spirit. Joseph her husband, since he was a
righteous man, yet unwilling to expose her to
shame, decided to divorce her quietly.

Such was his intention when, behold, the

angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream
and said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be
afraid to take Mary your wife into your home.
For it is through the Holy Spirit that this child
has been conceived in her. She will bear a
son and you are to name him Jesus, because
he will save his people from their sins."All this
took place to fulfill what the Lord had said
through the prophet: Behold, the virgin shall
conceive and bear a son, and they shall name
him Emmanuel, which means "God is with
us."

When Joseph awoke, he did as the angel of

the Lord had commanded him and took his
wife into his home. He had no relations with
her until she bore a son, and he named him
Jesus.

The Gospel of the Lord.

All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Floor Lights
Nicene Creed All I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Title Card
maker of heaven and earth, of all things
visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord,
Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son, born of
the Father before all ages. God from God,
light from light, true God from true God,
begotten not made, consubstantial with the
Father. Through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation, He came
down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit,
was made incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and
became man. (pause and genuflect)

For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius

Pilate. He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day in
accordance with the Scriptures. He
ascended into heaven and is seated at the
right hand of the Father. He will come again
in glory to judge the living and the dead, and
His kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver

of life, who proceeds from the Father and the
Son, who with the Father and the Son is
adored and glorified, who was spoken
through the prophets. I believe in one, holy,
catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one
baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look
forward to the resurrection of the dead and
the life of the world to come. Amen.
