Fourth Sunday of Advent

Prove your love, O Lord
Shock and awe; Let us have it
Wait, a lullaby?

Is 7:10-14 / Rom 1:1-7 / Mt 1:18-24

Fourth Sunday of Advent

Isaiah 7:10-14; Romans 1:1-7; Matthew 1:18-24

"God is with us." What sort of sign do you need to believe such a claim? A virgin birth? A man rising from the dead? A mighty church? How about an angel appearing in a dream, commanding you to do the illogical? Or a righteous man choosing to quietly obey such dreams? Is it any wonder that Joseph goes so unappreciated? What did he ever do, except believe. How unextraordinary.
