In Matthew 1:20-21, we see a beautiful moment where an angel brings reassurance to Joseph during a troubling time. As he grappled with uncertainty about Mary’s unexpected pregnancy, the angel appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife.” This gentle message reminded Joseph of his important role in God’s plan and reassured him that Mary’s child was conceived by the Holy Spirit.
The angel’s words highlighted the significance of the child to be born: “You shall call His name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins.” This revelation not only lifted Joseph’s fears but also illuminated the purpose of Jesus’ coming—salvation for all.
Joseph’s initial doubt was met with divine comfort, and he found the courage to embrace his calling. This story encourages us to trust in God’s plans, especially in our moments of confusion and fear. Just as the angel guided Joseph, God is present in our lives, inviting us to take bold steps in faith, knowing that He is with us every step of the way.
