Joseph’s Difficult and Courageous Journey of Faith!
Matthew 1:18-25

Who Is This Man, Joseph?

1. A Righteous Man by Faith! Committed to Do Live Life Right!

Do Life God’s Way! They Live Life Right!

Zacharias and Elizabeth: Luke 1:6 And they were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.

Noah: Genesis 6:9 These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.

Job: Job 1:1 There was a man in the Land of uz whose name was Job and that man was blameless upright fearing God and turning away from evil.

Now, These folks weren’t righteous because They Lived Life Right They Lived Life Right because they were Righteous! Righteous By Faith!

Romans 1:17 For in the gospel, the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, But the Righteous shall Live by Faith!

Hebrews 11 – The Hall of Fame of Faith!

A Passing Thought: Not Everything Is As It Appears, Especially in the Supernatural!

2. A Courageous Man! Who Completely Obeys God!

¬ Marry Mary (The child is by no man!)
¬ Name Him Jesus (Deliverer)!

Jesus – in the Greek it was a name that corresponded to the Hebrew name Joshua – Two words. The first Is Jehovah and the second part is from a primary root word that means to open wide! To make free! To deliver! To Save! To get victory!

BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON,AND THE SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL, which translated means, “GOD WITH US”

Romans 11:26 and thus all Israel will be saved; just as it is written,
“The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will remove ungodliness from Jacob.” 27 “And this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”

To Do What Righteous People by Faith Do! To do who you are in Christ!

Matthew 7:24-27 – Hear the Word, Do the Word! Do it quickly, Do it Completely!

Matthew 2:13-16 The Immediate Obedience of Joseph!
Matthew 2:19-23
