Luke 1:27-33 There was “…a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin’s name was Mary.”N/A • December 25th, 2010
• There was a man named Joseph of the lineage of David who was engaged to a young woman named Mary. We must understand that engagement meant something more than what it means today, for it was a binding agreement that could only be broken through a death or a divorce decree. For all intensive purposes, the initial engagement was considered legally binding while awaiting the ceremony and consummation to follow about a year later. Mary was legally the partner of Joseph and was hopefully looking forward to a happy marriage and family.
