Matthew 1:16-25 ~ he considered these things

Matthew 6:21 

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Jesus would see Joseph in His Father's Kingdom

Church History places

Joseph right by St. Patrick's Day

Matthew 1:16-25

Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. 

When His Mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. 

19 And her husband Joseph, being a just man and unwilling to put her to shame, resolved to divorce her quietly.

 20 But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, 

“Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call His Name Jesus, for He will Save His people from their sins.” 

All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet:

23 “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

    and they shall call His Name Immanuel”

    (which means, God with us). 

24 When Joseph woke from sleep, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him: he took his wife, 25 but knew her not until she had given birth to a son. And he called His Name Jesus.

When we want more of Jesus Christ, we learn more about the years God made private.

We see the heart of God reaching out for Joseph, son of David.  Chosen as David was among many sons of Jesse. Oh, the company Joseph keeps!

 1 Corinthians 15:33

Bad company ruins good morals

Matthew 6:21 

For where your treasure is, 

there your heart 

will be also.

Matthew 5:8 

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Proverbs 20:11 

Even a child makes himself known by his acts, 

by whether his conduct is pure and upright

1 John 3:18

 

Little children, 

let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth

Titus 1:16 

They profess to know God, 

but they deny Him by their works.

Luke 6:44-46

For each tree is known by its own fruit. 

For figs are not gathered from thornbushes,

 nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush. 

45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart

 produces good, 

and 

the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, 

for out of the abundance of the heart 

his mouth speaks.

46 “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you? 

Proverbs 27:19

 

As in water face reflects face, 

so the heart of man reflects the man.

Mark 7:21–23 

Actions are not merely random or external; 

they are the result 

of what is nurtured in the heart 

Jesus teaches the human heart is the source of all evil actions, sin arrives from within. Immorality, theft, murder, and greed—as outflows of an unrenewed heart, which ultimately defile a person. 

"For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil 

thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, coveting, 

wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, 

slander, pride, foolishness."

Proverbs 4:23

Keep your heart 

with all vigilance, 

for from it flow the springs of life.

Abba, Father,

 Heavenly Father, 

bind us together in unity and love 

reflecting 

Your heart. 

Renew our strength in You

Jesus Christ, 

fill our minds with calm 

and

 Your Holy Spirit fill us 

with lasting tranquility

May Christ dwell in our hearts through faith

We will be rooted and grounded in love, 

have strength to comprehend with all the saints 

what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 

and 

to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, 

that we will be filled 

with all the fullness of God.

Now to Jesus Christ

Who is able to keep us from stumbling 

and 

present us blameless before the presence of His Glory 

with great joy, 

to the only God, 

our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, 

be glory, 

majesty, dominion, and authority, 

before all time and now and forever. 

Dwell in me,

Dwell in us,

Dwell in those we Love,

Help us to seek You first.

And we will finish well, 

in Jesus Christ. 

Help us seek and find 

and bring,

to become,

 more Heaven

to this earth.

And the 2026 birth

of our

first Grandchild.

Jesus Christ, please,

Your blessings of

Health, Peace,

Wisdom

and Prosperity

for His Glory!

Bless our Nation

and the Nations to have peace.

Abundantly Bless those who 

serve this Nation

and 

protect others.

We pray the Large prayers of Jesus, 

the bless us prayers. 

The seeds of the young generation bloom 

and

and

Nation will not take up war anymore.

And Thank You
