Matthew 1:20-21 But while he 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 thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

To begin Brothers and sisters, Christian Friends, Well Wishers, and Saints of God it is a plum pleasing pleasure to talk about the Dream of Joseph and what he saw concerning the Birth of Jesus Christ the Messiah. As we look at the book of Matthew we see a chronology just like in Genesis and just like in the book of Chronicles. And that would take weeks to go through to give real credence and validity with veracity. And so for the sake of time, my official statement is that Jesus Christ came down through 42 generations to be born in Bethlehem of Judea to save mankind from their sins.

And and and something exciting came to me as it pertains to the Genealogy of Jesus. There is a fact that jumps out at us that’s written in the text. Something I didn’t see before..In Matthew 1:5 Salmon was married to Rehab. And it was Rehab the harlot who saved Joshua at Jericho. Rehab is in Jesus’ bloodline right? I’m going somewhere with this. And so I found out that Rehab was a descendant of Ham. Ham was one of Noah’s sons who was a black man. Ok that means that Jesus had some black blood in his veins. Yes Indeed.

The scholarship of the book of Matthew which written as a Greek text, indicates that this Gospel is as authentic as the book of Genesis, or Chronicles. Say Amen.

And verse 18.Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

1. The birth of Jesus was a spectacular event and through history this is the most majestic and miraculous phenomenon to event take place. And what’s happening here is that we have the Almighty Elohim who is the Godhead Plural God the Father God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, taking a moment in time to plan out a course for salvation for mankind.

This course was planned by the Trinity when the Father ask who will go for us to redeem mankind and Revelation 5:6 says that Jesus was as a Lamb that had been slain before the foundations of the world said I’ll go And Father just give me a baby’s body with 33 years with 10,000 blessing in my hand to satisfy the poor..

Because the bible says in verse 18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: Then after the colon the word says “When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph”, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Three quick things here 1. Mary and Joseph were engaged to be married. Yaay Joseph Yaay Mary because in Jewish culture when you were engaged it was like you were almost married. In modern society people get engaged and break off the engagement even if you buy her a big ring. Then she wants to keep the ring. 2. verse 18 says before they came together.. It was a wholesome deed as well as a spiritual creed that the man didn’t have intimate relationship with his espoused fiance’. Nowadays they want to send elicit pictures of their body parts over the internet as if to say like Price Leblanc commercials “try it before you buy Darling”. Come on Man.But in the text, keeping yourself pure was honorable. Say Amen. then

3. Verse 18 says “She was found with child of the Holy Ghost”. The Angel Gabriel came to Mary the Madonna and say you’ve been chosen to be the Theotokos, the Mother of God, and the Holy Ghost shall come in and overshadow you and you shall conceive and become pregnant with a child by the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ’s other self. Preach boy.

And this will be called the Incarnate Conception. The Incarnate Conception is uniquely different from any other because it’s where a human and the Almighty God make a baby. As a result the baby is considered to be the Monogenes God 100% God and 100% human at the same time.

And the bible says that Joseph felt some kind of way about this situation. Look at verse 19.Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. I can imagine Mary and Joseph having a conversation and Mary said see what had happen was that God came in my bedroom while I was sleep and impregnated me with a child of the Holy Ghost.

prime example is like when you ask your 3 or 4 year child did you waste your milk out of your sippy cup all over the floor , and you can see the trail going all the way from the kitchen to the living room right by where they are standing, and your child say no it wasn’t me. I didn’t do it butchy butch did it. And Joseph is looking at the evidence and he’s feeling some kind of way. All kind of thoughts are roaming through is head. This girl ain’t who I thought she was. This girl is just like them girl down by the red light district. This girl is supposed to come from an up standing family bloodline. She’s supposed to be a good fit for me!!! Joseph says in verse 19 I can’t let this be no public scandal. In modern time this story would have been breaking news that would have traveled all over the world in less than 30 seconds.Folk will pull out those cell phones and your picture has gone viral in nothing flat. And so Joseph said I’ll just ask her for a private divorcement. In Jewish Culture it still would have been a legal issue. Because engagement was almost marriage. And so Joseph is in a rock and a hard place.He has the cream of the crop and she’s not looking to good right now.This process will disturb the family bloodline if I divorce her. and then my pride can’t believe that she has done this to me. And all I can say about that is “If you don’t want her cheating on you then don’t cheat on her.” That’s a let a man examine himself moment. Do unto others and you would have them do unto you. Joseph is feeling some kind of way the bible says in verse 19 that Joseph was minded to put her away privily. Joseph thought about this stuff night and day. and when stuff is bothering you it can worry you night and day. but brothers and sisters turn it over to the Lord and the Lord will work it out.I know God will work it out because the word of God says All things work together for good for those who love God and are the called according to His purpose.

Matthew 1:20  But while he 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 thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

1. God miraculously intervenes while Joseph is thinking wrong thoughts. And does that with us a lot.. if we are listening. I know God tells me constantly don’t do that Allen it’s going to bad for you.

2. When Joseph fall asleep then the angel Gabriel comes and talks to him. Countless times and occasions the Lord have appeared to me with Instructions. Think about it how many times have you said before making a major decision give me 24 hours let me sleep on it, and I’ll give you my answer. The bible says that the Good Lord will give the righteous instruction in their night seasons.In other words while I’m sleep God gives me the correct answer to my problem. That’s why the word of God says Trust in the Lord and lean not to thy own understanding but in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.

3.Joseph said “What I saw in my dream was that it’s really true my Fiance Mary is going to have a baby by the Holy Ghost. And The Good Lord has give me explicit instruction to marry Mary and to shut my mouth up because I’m from the Bloodline of David and Mary’s from the blood line of David and because Mary is from the Davidic Offspring she has already been predicted to be the carrier of the Messiah. And so it’s a great honor and all of history is predicated upon me keeping this situation honorable.Because the word of God said in Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: And the government shall be upon his shoulder:And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God,The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Yeah 3x

Then the Angel Gabriel said in verse 21. And she meaning (Mary the Theotokos) shall bring forth a son, and thou ( you Joseph)shalt call his name JESUS: The Name Jesus means Savior and according to strong’s is listed 975 in various forms. And for the record “only the father in Jewish culture could name the child. So in essence only Joseph could call His name Jesus .

And the text says that Angel Gabriel told Joseph “for he ( Jesus )shall save his people from their sins. That’s also why In the book of Ruth Jesus is called our Kinsman Redeemer, because it took a deity such as Jesus that was fully human to be qualified to reconcile us back to good standing with God the Father.

22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Isaiah was the prophet that said that hundred of years before in Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, And shall call his name Immanuel.

Yeah 3x Start Closing I’m so glad that God is with Us. How about ya’ll? I wouldn’t have it no other way. Every second every minute every hour through the weeks through the years I’ve got to have Jesus or I just can’t make it by myself. Because He’s my Lord and savior um um yes And the bible says 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. Yes Sir. Mary’s little baby born in a manger yes wrapped in swaddling clothes who came you save the whole world from their sins .. Thank you Jesus. Thank Lord Glory to God in the Highest and Good Will toward men and Peace on Earth. Call His name Jesus Yes my Rock in the wearied land. Shelter in the time of a storm, Bridge over troubled waters, and Bread in a starving land.
