A Hard Truth


December 24
If you think it was hard for Mary to believe she was having God’s baby, imagine how her fiancé Joseph, a humble carpenter, must have felt. Pregnant? By the Holy Spirit?
Sure.
But when an angel of God appeared to him and told him the drill, Joseph didn’t get rid of Mary quietly. He married her. He loved her. And he raised the child with her for God.

Today’s Bible Verse – Matthew 1:21-22,24
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord 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." When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
