Joseph's Dream

Joseph's Dream

An angel intervenes just as Joseph is about to quietly end his engagement to Mary.

Birth of JesusNew Testament~5 BCE

shame

When Joseph discovers Mary is pregnant, he plans to break off the engagement discreetly to protect her from public disgrace. But an angel appears to him in a dream and explains that the child is from the Holy Spirit. The angel tells him to name the boy Jesus — because he will save his people from their sins. Joseph wakes up and does exactly what the angel said.

MatthewThe Family Tree Nobody Expected

Matthew opens his Gospel with a family tree that's anything but boring — full of outsiders, scandals, and unlikely heroes. Then he tells the story of how Jesus actually arrived: through a confused carpenter, a teenage girl, and an angel who showed up in a dream.
