Matthew 1.18-25In a dream, an angel tells Joseph that Mary’s child is from the Holy Spirit. He is to take her as his wife and name the child Jesus, the Saviour. By Joseph’s adoption Jesus becomes the promised Son of David, named ‘God is with us’.
Joseph is the last named in the list of Jesus' antecedents given by Matthew at the beginning of his Gospel but, as husband to Mary, not as Jesus’ biological father. He is entirely silent throughout this and, indeed, all of the Gospels, and he fades from the scene almost immediately after the opening chapters. But his actions are a vital and significant part of God’s story.
This week we explore what it means to play your part in God’s story.
This week we explore the question: What is it time to do now?
