4 God Speaks in a Dream

Matthew 1:1-25; Luke 3:23-38, TBC Book Two, Chapter 4
When the angel Gabriel visited Mary, he left before she could ask one important question: What would she tell Joseph? Mary and Joseph were planning to be married. The agreement was as binding as marriage itself. The only way to break it was by divorce.

Of course Mary did not want a divorce. But now that she was pregnant, she thought, What will Joseph say? How could he help but think that she had been unfaithful? After all, what woman had ever conceived a child by the power of the Holy Spirit?

Joseph was shocked when he learned the news. How could she do such a thing? he thought. Mary had such a pure heart. He could not imagine her entering into an intimate relationship with another man. But there was no denying she was pregnant.

What was it she said about an angel? Did she really expect him to believe that?

Joseph lay on his bed with a heavy heart. . . .
