DEPENDANCE OF JOSEPHEvery man will get disappointed, his heartbeat will become disorder and he will be frightened. Before Mary and Joseph came together, when he comes to know that Mary who is betrothed to him is Pregnant! “ Then Joseph her husband being a just man and not wanting to make her a public example was minded to put her away secretly.” (Mathew 1 :19) “ But if the charge is true and there is no proof that the girl was a virgin, then they are to take her out to the entrance of her father’s house, where the men of her city are to stone her to death.” (Deuter 22 :20-21). When Joseph passed through several mental conflicts, the angel of God appeared to him in a dream and said “ Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit”.(Mathew 1 :20) “ When Joseph woke up, he married Mary, as the angel of the Lord had told him to do” (Mathew 1 :24) Joseph who has faith and dependence in God obeys the message of God. Though it cannot be understood by the intelligence of man, Joseph accepts the Gospel of God without any hesitation. Joseph is aroused from sleep that is very important. We can work when we are awaken. But when we are asleep we cannot work. If we are not awaken though we receive the message there is no use! Wake up spiritually! Accept the Gospel of God! Then only Gospel can become the father of the world.
