A VIRGIN CONCEPTION
Matthew 1:18 - Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
What does it mean to be “betrothed”? Was it more than an engagement?
“she was found to be with child” Was Joseph “okay” with this?
“the man God uses he first bruises” & “When Christ comes, He turns lives upside down and inside out. He changes everything.”
How does this apply to Joseph and how does it apply to all Christians?
Does the Lord bring us low, to use us for His purpose?
Can this pattern be found throughout Scripture?
We find all we need in Him.
A WAKING NIGHTMARE
Matthew 1:19 - And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.
What does it mean when it says, “Joseph, being a just man”?
In Joseph’s eyes had Mary committed a capital offence?
Why did Joseph not act in haste?
Was God restraining him from acting?
How do we know God’s will? Flavel page 39.
DREAM ANGEL
Matthew 1:20 - But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
Was the “dream angel visit” meant to reassure Joseph that God was continuing to reveal Himself to His people?
Did God do this in a way that prevented Joseph from thinking he had worked it out for himself?
Joseph knew the Scriptures, should he have been expecting Jesus the Messiah?
