Psalms 133:1-3. How does the birth of Jesus make it possible for all mankind to become brothers dwelling together in unity? What’s my specific role in this today?

Hebrews 1:1-14. Verse 3, what attitudes and actions are expected of me when I realize that the baby in the manger is the glorious image of the God of the universe?
Matthew 1:1-25. What can I learn today from the Virgin Mary, and from the four women named in Jesus’ ancestry, verses 3-6?
