Matthew 1:18-25
Joseph did not remain an unspiritual man. He became a man of faith. How did he become a man of faith? - He became a man of faith through an encounter with the angel of the Lord, who revealed to him the true nature of Jesus. God was graciously providing His Son as the Saviour of the world. Joseph had a very important decision to make. he had to decide whether he was going to accept Jesus as his Saviour or reject Him as the illegitimate son of another man. By his acceptance of Mary and the child she was expecting, Joseph signified his acceptance of Jesus Christ, the Saviour. Joseph's response of faith, following the word of the angel of the Lord, now stands as a permanent example for us, that we might learn, from Joseph, how to move from being unspiritual, unbelieving people to being men and women of faith, rejoicing in our Saviour, Jesus Christ. God has a question for each one of us: Have you made a true response of faith to the gracious word of the Lord concerning His Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ?
