📜 TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Matthew 1:18-25
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ[e] took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed[f] 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.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.”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). 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.

| 0:07.1 | Podcast. My name is Carrie Green and I am a brother in Christ. |
| 0:14.0 | And I'm here to help you this day. |
| 0:17.0 | Get your mind aligned with the truth of God's word. |
| 0:20.0 | We've been doing that most recently in these morning mindset episodes by looking at the Christmas story. |
| 0:26.0 | And today we're looking at Matthew chapter 1 verse number 18. |
| 0:30.0 | And here's how it reads. It says the birth of Jesus happened in this way. |
| 0:35.1 | When his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph before they came together, |
| 0:39.7 | she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph, her husband being a just man, not |
| 0:47.1 | willing to make her a public example, was of the mind to put her away quietly. |
| 0:55.0 | But while he thought on these things, |
| 0:57.0 | the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, |
| 1:00.0 | saying Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take for yourself married as your wife. |
| 1:09.4 | Because that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit and she will bring forth a son and you will call |
| 1:16.3 | his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was |
| 1:22.4 | done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the |
| 1:26.5 | Prophet saying behold a virgin shall be with child and shall bring forth a son and they will call his name |
| 1:34.4 | Emmanuel which being interpreted means God with us. Then Joseph raised up from his |
| 1:42.2 | sleep, Diz the angel of the Lord, had told him it took to himself his wife. |
| 1:48.0 | And he did not know her until she had brought forth her firstborn son, and he called his name Jesus. I have always felt this sense |
| 2:00.0 | of great respect for Joseph. We are told very little about the man himself |
| 2:06.4 | throughout the course of the narrative in the Gospels. We see a little bit more later on |
