Do Not be afraid

Matthew 1:20-21
As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. “Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit.  And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus,[i] for he will save his people from their sins.”

Every angel seems to use “do not be afraid” as an opening line.  But perhaps no one needed to hear it more than Joseph.  What was happening to him was the stuff that ruins lives.  As a man in that time, he had all the rights to abandon Mary and preserve his dignity when he learned of her pregnancy.  The stakes were high.  But the angel’s message of encouragement was to see a difficult circumstance not with dread, but with joy.  Join us this week as we hear Joseph's story on the third Sunday of Advent.  #donotbeafraid  #morejoy
