Christmas Devotional Revisited 2022
December 21st
Centenary Christmas Devotional - 2009
Read Matthew 2:13-18

Verse 13 begins with an angel of the Lord appearing to Joseph in a dream. The angel warns Joseph that King Herod wants Jesus to be killed and instructs them to flee to Egypt until Herod’s death. It is important to point out that Joseph took this instruction (which came in a dream) at face value and more importantly was obedient. If I were Joseph, I may have had some questions or doubts. I may have rationalized this as nothing more than a dream, however, Joseph did not. Joseph displayed this obedience on more than one occasion. What can we learn from him today?

- When God speaks to you through prayer, dreams, etc, do you listen and obey?
- Do you rationalize away the voice of God?
Suggested Prayer: Pray that the individuals who attends the Christmas Eve service will be drawn to have a closer relationship with Jesus.
