Joseph
Matthew 1:
—> People generally lead with the TOP characteristic of a person when introducing them.
—> Trait or Title
—>
—> Joseph is righteous.
pertaining to being in accordance with what God requires—‘righteous, just.’
—>
—> Joseph is obedient.
—> being a good husband is tough being a good dad is tougher.
being the dad to the Messiah is not something I would wish on my worst enemy.
—> I believe Joseph has a choice just like us.
To listen to what God is calling him to or to turn and run, to go his own way and do his own thing.
—> Joseph chooses in this moment to obey God.
—> I heard a saying a few years back from friends of ours about obedience.
Its what they taught their kids and its what we teach our girls.
When we are truly being obedient we do what we are asked or told, “right away, all the way, in a happy way.”
—> Do we obey God like that?
I think we will see Joseph does.
Matthew 2:
—> listens and obeys without question
—> sometimes we can have a tendency to hesitate when it comes to God
matthew 2:
—> Joseph is consistent.
—> This is the last time Joseph is mentioned directly in Matthew.
—> We can only assume that Joseph dies sometime between Jesus’ 12th and 30th birthday since the last action he takes is when Jesus is found with the rabbis in the Temple, and Mary is mentioned solo from then on as well.
—> He isn’t mentioned at all in Mark.
—> But what we read in Ch. 2 of Matthew tells us what we need to know.
—> And he gets 1 line in John
—> Again Joseph hears from the Lord in a dream.
—> He uproots his family overnight to protect his newly adopted son.
—> They go to a foreign country and live
