Joseph's fiancee is pregnant. He is faithful to the Law. What should he do?
Before the angel showed up, Joseph was going to quietly divorce Mary and move on. A difficult decision, but an honorable one. He did not want to do harm to Mary, and he did not want to be with an unfaithful wife. Pretty tough first Christmas.
Struggles at Christmas are common. We may not have the money to afford gifts for those we love. We may miss a loved one who has passed away. We may not have anyone to celebrate with. We may not be in a good frame of mind.
Joseph changed his plan after hearing from an angel. In light of Christmas, he chose to do something different.
You may not have heard from an angel, but you have heard the story of the angels. Jesus came into the world for you. In light of Christmas, what are you going to do differently?
