Jesus born of Mary
wife of Joseph
the style of God disrupts our plans as it did with Mary and Joseph. All, like them, we must enter into a dream bigger: the coming of the kingdom of God Matthew recounts the birth of Jesus (Gospel), citing the prophecy of Isaiah, who comforted Joseph in his distress. In fact, Mary becomes pregnant before they live together and this could indicate that adultery, which was scheduled for the stoning. Joseph is thus between two fires: the Law of Moses must divorce an unfaithful wife, for her heart does not want this woman to be killed. That's why he decided to secretly away: to obey and at the same time to save. He is the right man who always tries to do the will of God
In the dream, the angel reveals to him the divine origin of that child again and Joseph obeyed God by recognizing what is happening in the fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah. He had announced, with the birth of an heir to Ahaz, the promise of a savior, God with us (I read). God comes among us, but calls our ability to hear the echoes of Scripture.
