Christmas often brings faith anxiety—pressure to explain, defend, or control how God shows up in the world. But Matthew’s Gospel tells a different story. In the birth narrative, Joseph is practical, faithful, and careful. When he discovers Mary is pregnant, he plans a quiet, lawful solution—until God interrupts him in a dream.
God doesn’t ask Joseph to protect God’s reputation or manage the situation. God asks him to trust. The child is conceived by the Holy Spirit. His name will be Jesus, for he will save the people. And Matthew declares what Isaiah long ago promised: Emmanuel—God with us.
This is not a cozy, sentimental story. God does not wait for ideal conditions or perfect certainty. God enters confusion, vulnerability, and fear, choosing to work through ordinary people in extraordinary ways. Christmas is not about keeping God in the world, but realizing God has already come into it.
As we move through this Christmas season, we’re invited to release our need for control and trust God’s presence instead—remembering that God is big, strong, mighty, and already at work among us.
