Joseph was a good man who was so excited to get married to the girl of his dreams. Then he got the news, the news that would be his worst nightmare—news that would be “Good News” to the whole world, but not for Joseph, or so he thought...
This news would change everything: his life, his reputation, the reputation of his wife, their marriage, his standing in the community, and his future.
How would he react to having his wedding plans interrupted?
After contemplating what to do, an angel appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
~Matthew 1:20&21
What does all this mean? How did he respond? How did this interruption change the world?
What can we learn from Joseph, Mary’s husband, that will help us navigate interruptions in our own lives and draw us deeper into the Christmas story, and closer to Jesus, our Savior and our Lord?
Join us this Sunday as we travel with Joseph on the next leg of our journey to Bethlehem and beyond with joyous anticipation of the coming of our King!
