Joseph was an extraordinary man. By the time Jesus reaches adulthood, there is no more mention of him, but his radical obedience to the Father, made him the right choice to be the stepfather of God. No man before, or since had ever had to face such a difficult task. He had the perfect child, and he had a difficult test to his faith. Big Idea: Faith, and a life characterized by holiness are gifts that Christ would love to receive from you. Give him that gift. (Matthew 1:18-25; John 1:43-46; Philippians 2:8)
