“And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21 NLT
This scripture is part of a message Joseph received after finding his betrothed pregnant. Joseph did not accept that Mary was pregnant by the HolySpirit, however the angel spoke to Joseph in a dream to accept the word as truth and keep to the plans to marry Mary.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
Joseph would have been caught with fear, hurt and disbelief, however, he believed the message and became the father of Jesus.
Only Jesus saves us from our sins, and empowers us to defeat fear. When we have to act in the face of fear we can trust our Lord to empower us. Amen!
