Excerpt from Reverend Ann’s book – THE CRUSH ON THE CROSS

JESUS was adopted by Joseph so as we can be adopted by God. Joseph took full responsibility of a father to Jesus and God takes full responsibility to us as His children. Hallelujah
• God Has adopted us to Sonship Through Jesus Christ.

” This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18.”

• Jesus was “adopted” and raised by His mother’s husband, Joseph, who took Jesus as his own child. He embraced Him and loved Him wholeheartedly.
• The children that Joseph bore with Mary after Jesus birth were recognized as Jesus brothers and sisters even though Jesus wasn’t birthed directly from Joseph bosom.

” Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Mary, and THE BROTHER of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are HIS SISTERS not here with us?” Mark 6:3.”

• Our recognition into God’s family is FULLY as Jesus recognition into God’s family.
• The Lord is warmly welcoming you into His Family by Just Receiving Jesus as Your salvation.

NLT
” Therefore, come out from among unbelievers, and separate yourselves from them, says the LORD. Don’t touch their filthy things, and I WILL WELCOME YOU. AND I WILL BE YOUR FATHER, AND YOU WILL BE MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS, says the LORD Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:17-18.”
