A virgin, the Holy Ghost, and an angel?

Good morning everyone one! God is good all the time, all the time God is good. Only a few days till Christmas Eve. Please don't forget the reason, which is Jesus!!

We have been visiting about Mary becoming pregnant and Joseph not wanting to make her a public example. But think about this from Joseph's standpoint. Here is a woman you think is beautiful, you can't wait to marry and she turns up pregnant. She insists she has slept with no one, you, Josephs, did not sleep with her. Now this woman you held so high not only slept with someone but she is lying to you. Then the plot thickens.

Matthew 1:20 "But while he (Joseph) thought on these things, behold, the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a dream saying, 'Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary they wife; for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.'"
Okay, this would set you back and make you shake your head, but then.....

Matthew 1:21 "And she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name JESUS; for he shall save his people from their sins."In Ancient times a betrothal had to be legally broken. Joseph's merciful attitude gives an insight into his true nature as a man. Joseph, son of David, indicates he was a legitimate heir to the vacant throne of David. The angel orders him to take Mary as his wife and to call the child Jesus, Hebrew Yehoshua, means Jehovah saves. this points to the very purpose of Christ's coming into the world to save sinners.

Wow! A lot for Joseph to be hit with, listen to and understand. Just think if this had been you; what would you have done? This is nothing but miraculous and has the stamp of GOD! Some people dispute this, some Christians don't believe this. If the Bible is truly the inspired word of God, this is written in it, then I believe it. I would embrace any feedback you may have. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
