Day 9 - Do Not Fear!  God's Word of Hope for Every Day!

Today we're skipping to Matthew, but remaining with the Do Not Fear in the birth narrative about Jesus.  Matthew tells the story of Jesus' birth through the eyes of Joseph; Luke tells through the eyes of Mary.  So in Matthew, the angel appears to Joseph in a dream, after Joseph had resolved to quietly divorce Mary after he found she was pregnant.  Here's our verse, Matthew 1:20:

But just when he had resolved to do this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him

in a dream ans said, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife,

for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
