Turning Point with Dr. David Jeremiah

He needed a man who was sturdy, stable, and practical, yet sensitive to the voice of God.

He needed one who would stand quietly with a young virgin who might have seemed an object of ridicule, yet who carried in her womb the hope of the world. Joseph was strong but compassionate; he was able to lead the tiring expedition to Bethlehem and to the stable, to love and encourage the mother of Christ.

Joseph, as the man of the house, was the teacher to give Jesus His first lessons in the law of God.

And in Jerusalem, when the boy was twelve and it became evident that His first allegiance must be to another Father, Joseph was the man to humbly and silently step back and let God step forward.

Amazingly, Joseph never spoke a word in the Christmas story. But what he did, speaks volumes to us all.
