18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.21 She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel"; which is, being interpreted, "God with us."24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;25 and didn't know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Jesus. -

Matthieu, surnommé Lévi, était avant sa conversion, un publicain, ou collecteur de taxes pour les Romains, à Capernaüm. Il est admis généralement qu'il a écrit son évangile avant tous les autres évangélistes. Le contenu de cet évangile, et les évidences mises en lumière par des écrivains antiques, montrent qu'il a été écrit essentiellement à l'usage de la nation juive.
L'accomplissement de la prophétie était considéré par les Juifs comme quelque chose d'évident, et c'est là-dessus que s'appuie spécialement Matthieu. Nous trouvons là une sélection de quelques parties de la vie de notre Sauveur, passée ici-bas, et de ses discours qui conviennent bien pour éveiller la nation juive à la notion de ses péchés ; pour anéantir ses attentes erronées d'un royaume terrestre ; pour diminuer sa fierté et sa vanité ; pour lui apprendre la nature spirituelle et l'ampleur de l'évangile ; pour la préparer à l'admission du Païen dans l'église.* La généalogie de Jésus. (Matthieu 1:1-17) Un ange apparaît à Joseph. (Matthieu 1:18-25)
Matthieu 1:1-17 Remarquons le but principal de cette généalogie de notre Sauveur, elle est digne d’intérêt : elle n’est pas l’objet d’une vaine gloire, comme c'est bien souvent le cas de celles des grands hommes. Elle prouve que notre Seigneur Jésus vient bien de la nation et de la famille d'où le Messie devait provenir. Des promesses, d’abord de bénédiction, ont été faites à Abraham et sa postérité, puis d'autorité, à David et à sa descendance. Il a été en effet promis à ces deux patriarches que Christ devait naître de leur descendance, Ge 12:3;22:18,2Samuel 7:12;Psaume 89:3;132:11.
En conséquence, si Jésus n’eut été descendant de David, et d'Abraham, il n'aurait pas été le Messie. Ce fait est maintenant prouvé, d’après les registres généalogiques bien connus. Quand le Fils de Dieu a désiré revêtir notre nature, Il est venu ici-bas, partager notre condition d’abaissement et de misère ; mais Il était parfaitement exempt de tout péché. Quand nous lisons les différents noms de cette généalogie, nous ne devons pas oublier à quel point s'est abaissé le Seigneur de gloire, dans le but de sauver la race humaine.
18 Considérons bien les circonstances dans lesquelles le Fils de Dieu est entré dans ce monde misérable : que cela puisse nous apprendre à mépriser les honneurs vains de cette terre, comparés à la grandeur de Sa piété et de Sa sainteté.Le mystère de Christ s’étant fait « homme », est digne d'adoration, il ne doit pas être un sujet de curiosité. Il a été établi que Christ devait être « participant » à notre nature, bien qu’Il fut malgré cela, pur de la souillure du péché originel, communiquée à toute la race humaine par Adam.
Observez que Dieu désire guider celui qui Le recherche plutôt que celui qui n'a aucune considération pour Sa Personne. Le temps choisi par Dieu pour donner Ses directives à Son peuple est le moment où ce dernier court à sa perte. Les réconforts divins procurent plus de joie à l'âme quand celle-ci est dans la perplexité.
Il est dit à Joseph, que Marie allait donner naissance au Sauveur du monde. Il devait lui donner le nom de Jésus, ce qui signifie « le Sauveur ». Le nom de Jésus est semblable à celui de Josué. Sa signification est claire : ceux que Christ allait sauver, seraient délivrés de leurs péchés ; ils allaient être débarrassés de la culpabilité de leur iniquité, grâce à Sa mort ; le pouvoir du péché allait être anéanti par l'Esprit de Sa Grâce. En les sauvant du péché, Christ les sauve de la colère et de la malédiction divines, ainsi que de toute misère ici-bas, et ce, pour toujours !
Christ est venu pour sauver son peuple, non pas DANS son péché, mais DU péché ; Il est venu pour racheter les siens parmi les hommes, pour Lui-même, étant par nature, séparé des pécheurs.
Joseph a exécuté rapidement ce que l'ange du Seigneur lui a demandé, et ce, sans attendre, de bonne grâce et sans discuter.
Si nous voulons vraiment suivre les instructions générales de la Parole, nous devons à chaque étape de notre vie, et particulièrement lors des grandes décisions à prendre, suivre les directives divines ; nous trouverons alors, dans cette obéissance la paix et le réconfort !
