Bible Verse of the Day

• Matthew 1:19-21 (Wycliffe New Testament)
  19 And Joseph, her husband, for he was rightful, and would not publish her, he would privily have left her. 20 But while he thought these things, lo! the angel of the Lord appeared to him in sleep, and said, Joseph, the son of David, do not thou dread to take Mary, thy wife; for that thing that is born in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bear a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall make his people safe from their sins.
  

How would you react if you were in Mary or Joseph's shoes?
