Matthew 1:18-25 - Dream: Fulfillment and Hope (Advent Sunday #4)
Show Notes
Immanuel: is as much a name as it is God's chosen method for interacting. As God comes to Joseph in a dream, he brings Joseph more than a change in direction. He also brings him the beginnings of a new hope which can take root in his life.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
