MATTHEW: INTRO TO 2:23
Many believe, because of his references to the Old Testament, that Matthew was written to influence the Jewish people. It was probably written before A. D. 70. The first 17 verses of chapter one are concerned with the genealogy of Joseph, the husband of Mary, the mother of Christ.
Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph but before they came together (this indicates that they did come together later) she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Joseph first intended to divorce Mary but he too was visited by the Holy Spirit and then understood the pregnancy. So, they became man and wife. The birth of Jesus fulfilled the prophesy of Isaiah 7:14.
After Jesus was born, wise men came from the east following a star so that they might worship him. King Herod wanted to be notified when they found him. After they worshipped Jesus in Bethlehem the wise men did not report to Herod.
Joseph was warned by an angel to escape to Egypt because Herod wanted to kill Jesus. Joseph followed the instructions of the angel: Herod ordered all boys two years old and under who were in the vicinity to be killed. Joseph and family returned to live in Nazareth after Herod died.

LINDEN’S LIFE
Tuesday I dropped off recyclables, went on to the post office and did some other running around. Later in the day I attempted to mend my favorite robe but pretty much failed. It is nice to identify the things I don’t do well. I went to the Mission House for a few minutes in the early evening, they and their four kids, ages one to six, will be staying there until the end of the month.
