Matthew 1:23
I hated school when others kids created trouble. Do you remember the feeling? You'd be false accused of calling someone a name. Or other kids wrote nasty notes about your hair or clothes. Or the bully towered over you, ready to punch your lights out. For those moments, the world might as well have ended. You couldn't imagine how life could go on.
I imagine that Joseph felt like that when he heard of Mary's pregnancy. His engagement was not going according to classroom rules. People started talking. Whispering. Giggling Sneering. And who knows, perhaps Mary had an older brother who would have beaten the life out of Joseph.
But notice what the angel tells Joseph: "'The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel'--- which means, "God with us'" (Matthew1:23).
God with us. What wonderedful words Joseph heard. It made all the difference.
Remember those tough days at school? What a relief even this holiday season doing online God is with us! The song said. When God speak nothin remain the same whenever He revealed His plan all things happen it was so it was good the result is good!
When the teacher showed up at just the right moment to make things right.
