Matthew 1:18 at The Sword

There were runners and ruckers. I am still not running and letting my foot heal up so I used the opportunity to ruck with Bedpan and give him a recap of the F3 Christmas Party.

At 6, we all regrouped for a little 3rd F. My church has a series going about the Christmas story and one key takeaway I heard recently was to tell the story every year, even if people have heard it. It is a great reminder and it may reach new ears.

So we started at the beginning with Matthew 1:18.

Matthew 1: [18]Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

We went on to talk about verses 19-25 as well and how Joseph was a man of great faith and planned to divorce Mary, as was customary at the time. He was going to do so quietly to not embarras her. However, an angel appeared to him to tell him the baby was the son of God and that je was to name the baby Jesus. Joseph decided to be obedient to God and stay with Mary. That is a man with great faith and courage!!!!!
