Raising The God-Child

The quagmire of Mary's pregnancy began to unravel as an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream.

Matthew 1:19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man and not willing to make her a public example was minded to put her away privily.

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.

Can you feel his relief when he awakes? God chose his Mary, a virgin, to bring the long-awaited Messiah into the world?

Perhaps he was awe struck as he realized the Son of God would live in his modest home, learn his trade, sit on his knee, and eat at his table.

The prophets said he would come to earth to be crucified, to redeem man from sin. He would rise in three days. 

Wow! How do you raise the God-Child?
