Guardians Of Ancora Bible Plan: Messages From Angels

DAY 5 OF 5

A HEAVENLY ENCOUNTER

Poor Joseph. It was all so far-fetched! Mary had visited him earlier with the news – a story about an angel and God’s Son. It was hard to think it was true, and yet, somehow, Mary had made it believable. Almost. His head was spinning. What should he do? How could Mary be pregnant? He knew she was a virgin, or was she? Should he marry her? Doubts flooded in as he tossed and turned on his mattress, unable to sleep.

And then it happened to him! An angel of the Lord appeared and spoke of the baby that would be the Son of God. Everything changed as it all began to make sense. Perfect sense. This was part of God’s epic plan for his people. This was what the prophets had said would happen. It had been predicted hundreds of years earlier. The angels were confirming God’s promises from the past and they were going to be fulfilled through Mary, and through him!

The least he could do in the circumstances was follow the angel’s instructions and obey God.

TALKABOUT

Improvise a short drama to tell the story, with family members, toys or puppets taking the parts of Mary, Joseph, the angel and people of Nazareth. What does each person do in the story? What do they say? How are they feeling? What are they thinking?

TALKING WITH GOD TOGETHER

Perform your homemade drama as an act of family worship.
