Wise guys

I am amazed by how much dreams and prophecy come into play here and very little we pay attention to them now.

"Where is the Messiah supposed to be born?"
"Bethlehem, Judah territory. The prophet Micah wrote it plainly."

"In a dream, they were warned not to report back to Herod."

"God's angel showed up again in Joseph's dream and commanded, 'Get up. Take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt. Stay until further notice. Herod is on the hunt for this child, and wants to kill him.'"

"That's when Jeremiah's sermon was fulfilled."

"God's angel appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt: 'Up, take the child and his mother and return to Israel. All those out to murder the child are dead.'"

"This move was a fulfillment of the prophetic words, 'He shall be called a Nazarene.'"

The other thing that struck me is two simple words repeated twice: "Joseph obeyed."

Maybe the three scholars from the east weren't the only wise ones.

What would happen through our church and in the world if we obeyed God's dreams for us? I can see something emerging with the young adult living, learning community/Dorchester launch. Stay tuned...into what God wants for Faith.
