The Christmas Solution–Joseph Son of David
The King Had To Come Through David
2 Samuel 7:12-13 When thy days be fulfilled, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish His kingdom. He shall build an house for My Name, and I will establish the throne of His kingdom for ever!
Psalms 89:35-36 I have sworn by My Holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.
Psalms 132:11 The LORD has sworn in truth unto David; He will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne.
Joseph Had A Family Problem
Jeremiah 22:29-30 O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the LORD says: “Record this man (Jehoachin) as if childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime, for none of his offspring will prosper, none will sit on the throne of David or rule anymore in Judah.
The Virgin Birth Assures A Sinless Savior

To Be Righteous Is To Be Merciful
Matthew 1:19 …because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
Direction Comes When Mercy Is Seen
Matthew 1:20 But 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.
The Curse Of Sin Is Dealt With In The Lord’s Arrival
Matthew 1:21 She will give birth to a son and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins.
Christmas Was HIS PLAN All Along!
Matthew 1:22-23 All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”–which means, “God with us.”
Obedience Allows His Blessings To Follow
Matthew 1:24-25 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
