Series: Miracles of Christmas
Author: Jeff Schreve
Text: Matthew 1:18-25
?If you have your Bible, please turn to Matthew chapter 1. We started a series for Christmas called "The Miracles of Christmas." And today, we want to talk about "The Miracle of Salvation."
?Now, as I introduced this series last week, I talked about the phrase, "A Christmas miracle." And, you know, it's wonderful to pray for a Christmas miracle. I heard about an elderly woman. She was in her mid-80s, andshe needed a Christmas miracle. And she wrote a letter to God and mailed it.

And they put it in an envelope, and they sent it to her. And they just felt so good about, we're going to make this lady's Christmas. We're going to be her Christmas miracle. Well, Christmas came and went. And about a week or so after Christmas, they got another letter addressed to God from that same shaky handwriting. And they opened it up, and they said, "Oh, what's she going to say?" And she said, "Oh, dear God, thank You so ...
