Matthew 1:18-25 (NKJV) 18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “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.” 24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus. Joseph was of the house and lineage of David Luke 2:4 – 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David This gives Jesus legal claim to the Davidic throne, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah being a descendant of King David. Joseph probably had family still living in Bethlehem Luke 2:7 – “She brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” (NKJV) “kataluma” = a room in a house. The NIV more accurately translates this. “…there was no guest room available for them.” Joseph was a Carpenter Mark 13:55 – “Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary?” (NKJV) The Greek word translated carpenter is “tekton”. tekton = a skilled craftsman / masterful artisan who possessed the abilities to envision what others could not see and then create with their hands a fabulous final product. Joseph and Mary were Betrothed In those days, marriages were arranged Marriage was more of a transaction. The woman was considered property and it was considered an exchange of goods.” Thus the “purchasing family” would pay a dowry. Two forms of “dowries” provided to the woman and her family: “mohar” – paid by Joseph’s father to Mary’s father “mattan” – given by Joseph and intended for Mary. After the dowries were confirmed and paid, an official document called the “ketubah” would be signed. It was a “marriage contract” detailing the groom’s obligations and the wife’s dowry, making the union official. Mary is found to be pregnant 18 After His mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit.” Joseph has a decision to make He basically had 3 options: Expose her publicly Privately divorce her Marry her 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. 20 But while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “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.” God’s intervention always comes at the right time God spoke to Joseph on 4 separate occasions by way of a dream. Fear not, take Mary as your wife Warning that Herod is trying to kill him Herod is dead…you can go back home Go back to Nazareth so that prophesy could be fulfilled. 24 Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife, 25 and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus. Joseph was obedient Were it not for Joseph’s obedience, we wouldn’t have Christmas as we know it. He knew the voice of the Spirit and was quick to obey. He married Mary…as the Angel commanded He left Bethlehem for Egypt…as the Angel commanded He returned to Israel…as the Angel commanded He returned to Nazareth…as the Angel commanded, fulfilling the OT prophecy that the Messiah would be called “a Nazarene” Obedience to God is seldom easy. Often the right thing is the hard thing. Timeline 0:00 Welcome to Thomas Road 0:30 Worship 24:00 Sermon 1:08:00 Invitation #gloria #thomasroad #churchonline
