Righteous man
Because Joseph her husband was
a righteous man and did not want
to expose her to public disgrace,
he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
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.
Matthew 1:19,20
It must be a shock for a good
man to learn that his
betrothed trusting fiance is
pregnant not by him.
Joseph, the father of earthly
family of Jesus was in such
a state when he learned
Mary his betrothed trusting
woman was pregnant.
When recovering from it
he was going to divorce her
quietly for the sake of her.
He was a righteous man.
Then in a dream, an angel
told him that the pregnancy
had been by the Holy Spirit.
In a few month ago the same
was told to Mary by the
archangel Gabriel.
The family on earth in which
child Jesus was to be nurtured
was righteous and completely
dedicated to God; the new
young couple was believing in
and obedient to God.
The first promise of the first Christmas
is God to become a Man to crush
the head of the devil.
In the next 4000 years several hundred
times God told them what
the First Christmas would be like.
He proclaimed through the prophets
what the first Christmas would be
like to the people who die eternally
because of their sin.
Only 2000 years ago all his promise
was fulfilled without a single failure.
The savior Jesus was born in a manger.
The first Christmas! Worship the Messiah!
The first advent was fulfilled on
the first Christmas.
Now the mankind is entered in
the second advent as
the Savior Jesus himself promised.
Congratulations to all who wait in a great
hope of Jesus coming again as
King of kings, Lord of lords.
Merry Christmas to you!
