Joseph’s Invitation

Angels in the Bible, from time to time directly communicate a message from God to His people. In today’s scripture an angel appears to Joseph as he is about to break-up with Mary because she is pregnant. His words to Joseph are filled with glory and hope. The rest is HIStory. 

“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. 21 And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” 22 So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: 23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”: Matthew 1:18-23
