Matthew 1-2
JOSEPH’S DREAMS
Like the Old Testament Joseph, the guardian of the Lord Jesus in the New Testament was also a dreamer. God spoke to Joseph often through dreams.
THE DREAM THAT BROUGHT PEACE – Matthew 1:18-25
It was a dream that allayed any of Joseph’s fears about marrying Mary, who was pregnant.
THE DREAM THAT SUPPLIED PROTECTION – Matthew 2:13-18
Herod, in jealousy, would kill babies in the Bethlehem area. The dream protected Jesus.
THE DREAM THAT GAVE PROMISE – Matthew 2:19-21
It was then safe to move back to Israel.
THE DREAM THAT PROVIDED PLACEMENT – Matthew 2:22-23
Joseph was guided back to Nazareth due to the dream. This was in fulfillment of prophecy.
