Joseph's Obedience
Obedience is the key to accomplishing God's will. Even when we do not understand or agree with the next steps following God's plan is always the best next step.
Matthew 1:20-24
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. And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.” So all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying: “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”
Then Joseph, being aroused from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife,
- Joseph was Jesus’ earthly father
- Joseph was of the lineage of King David
- Obedience means to submit to the authority of another
Follow God. Obey God. Receive the blessing.
