Christmas Through a Man’s Eyes

by Paul on 7 December 2011

We Had A Visitor!

Yep… Joseph turned up to tell us a little about how he felt about becoming the Father of the Son of God.

It’s pretty hard to make a Bible study out of it so I’ll just give you the major thing that struck me about him.

He Was Obedient to God

Even though he had his doubts, (after all, Jesus seemed like a pretty normal kid most of the time), his fears and his struggles, he chose to obey God. Even at times when it was hard to trust… he trusted.

I think that’s why God chose him to look after His son.
