Summary
Matthew 1:18-25 presents the virgin birth of Jesus through Mary and Joseph's obedience despite confusion and hardship. Joseph's willingness to obey God without full understanding demonstrates that true obedience means hearing from God through Scripture, prayer, and the Holy Spirit, then doing what He commands even when it doesn't make sense or is difficult.
Highlights
Obedience is simply hearing from God and doing what he says.
Obedience to Christ, obedience to the word of God always leads to life. And disobedience to what God says, even when it's the easier route, always ends in brokenness.
The foot is level at the cross. And if you'll come to Jesus today and trust in what he's done for you, it doesn't matter what you've done, where you've come from.
