I. The Virgin Mother v. 18-19

(ESV)
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way.
When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph,
before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit.
19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.

God’s fulfillment doesn’t always come how we expect

II. Angelic Message v. 20-23

20 But as he considered these things,
behold,
an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying,
“Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife,
for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21 She will bear a son,
and you shall call his name Jesus,
for he will save his people from their sins.”
Psalm 130:8 ESV
And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities.
22 All this took place
to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:
23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive
and bear a son,
and they shall call his name Immanuel”
(which means, God with us).
This is quoted from
Isaiah 9:6–7 ESV
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.
Titus 2:11–14 ESV
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Jesus fulfills Old Testament prophecy

Jesus is the perfect Savior of his people

III. Joseph’s Obedience v. 24-25

24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did
as the angel of the Lord commanded him:
he took his wife,
25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son.
And he called his name Jesus.

Jesus is the only way of salvation
