The Lord appears to Joseph
19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[a] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20 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.
Discussion: We discussed divorce and commitment, adoption, and grace. The children entertained ideas on what if's had not been obedient to the Lord's message. We used this opportunity to discuss how the Lord speaks to us today and his expectations of us. God prepared Joseph, as he prepares us. Depth of the Angel's words, "do not fear".
