"CALLED BEFORE BIRTH"

Matthew 1:18-25

God has come to be with His people to fulfill the deepest meaning of the covenant. Matthew not only gives attention to Jesus’ genealogy, but also gives accounts of His miraculous conception and infancy. Matthew attests to both human and divine natures in the remarkable conception of Jesus. The child has a human lineage through King David and the patriarch Abraham (1:1-17), a human name, “Jesus,” by which He identifies with His people”. Mary: the mother of Jesus and wife of Joseph. Mary lived in Nazareth where she was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. Before the consummation of their marriage, the angel Gabriel appeared to her at her home with the message that she would bear a son, who was to be God’s own Son.
