马太福音1:18～25
耶稣基督降生
18耶稣基督降生的事记在下面：他母亲马利亚已经许配了约瑟，还没有迎娶，马利亚就从圣灵怀了孕。
19她丈夫约瑟是个义人，不愿意明明地羞辱她，想要暗暗地把她休了。
20正思念这事的时候，有主的使者向他梦中显现，说：「大卫的子孙约瑟，不要怕！只管娶过你的妻子马利亚来，因她所怀的孕是从圣灵来的。
21她将要生一个儿子，你要给他起名叫耶稣，因他要将自己的百姓从罪恶里救出来。」
22这一切的事成就是要应验主藉先知所说的话，
23说：必有童女怀孕生子；人要称他的名为以马内利。（以马内利翻出来就是「 神与我们同在」。）
24约瑟醒了，起来，就遵着主使者的吩咐把妻子娶过来；
25只是没有和她同房，等她生了儿子，就给他起名叫耶稣。
Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son
18This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.
19Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
20But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is
conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.
21She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
22All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:
23“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”).
24When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.
25But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
内容观察
1.马利亚在怎样的背景下怀了耶稣?(18节)
2.约瑟在得知马利亚怀孕之后如何应对?(19节)
思考与默想
个人感受
决心与应用
5.你何时曾为了持守自己的义而使他人蒙羞?
6.为了成为满有怜悯的义人，你今天要怎么做?
暗地里把她休了(19节):约瑟若公开以奸淫为由解除婚约，马利亚不仅要承受社会的羞辱，还会被众人拿石头打死。因此，约瑟想暗地里与马利亚解除婚约。
应验主借先知所说的话(22节):使人想起以赛亚书7:14的故事。赛7:14“因此，主自己要给你们一个预兆，看哪，必有童女怀孕生子，给他起名叫以马内利。
