They have Moses and the Prophets;
let them listen to them.
—Luke 16:29
The rich man begged Father Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his brothers to straighten up. “If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,” Abraham said, “they will not be convinced if someone rises from the dead” (Lk 16:31).
An angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, telling him to take Mary as his wife. He did so immediately (Mt 1:24).
An angel again appeared to Joseph in a dream, telling him to take Jesus and Mary and escape to Egypt. He headed to Egypt that very night (Mt 2:13–14).
Joseph did everything the Lord told him to do without question or delay.
We may say, “Well, if I had dreams with angelic instruction, I would obey, too.”
Would we? Really?
We have it in writing.
Inspired instruction is at your fingertip.
