The foundation of God God was with us And GOD IS WITH US And GOD will be FOREVER with us As he left the Holy Spirit behind TO LIVE in our hearts FAST FORWARD to Over 700 years after Isaiah And we find THE BIRTH OF JESUS Described in Matthew and Luke We find Gabriel Saying to Mary, “Do not be afraid-Mary You have found favor With God You will be With child And give birth to a son And you are To give him The name Jesus He will be great And he will be called The Son of the MOST HIGH The Lord God Will give him the throne Of his father David And he will Reign over the house of Jacob forever His kingdom WILL NEVER END” Luke 1:29-34 also recorded in Matthew 1:18-25 I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION Fast forward To a little peasant girl-14 years-old By the name of Bernadette Soubirous On February 11th, 1858 The FIRST of 18 visitations In that vision Bernadette reported seeing, “A MOST beautiful woman Younger and not taller than herself Dressed in white A long rosary Hung from her arm” And on the third visit Bernadette was told, “I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION” Do you believe?
