Reading – Matthew 1:16-25

Highlight Verses:
“When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭1‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Joseph is one of my heroes of the Bible.

Think about it. He gets very little attention in the Bible, but he was Jesus’ stepdad.

Not only did he help raise Jesus, he gave Jesus His name.

He helped teach Jesus to walk.

He protected him.

Joseph was key to helping the Son of God mature into who He was.

I’m a stepdad.

I can relate.

I’d like to think that I had some influence over all my kids – the one I first saw at her birth and the three whose mom I married.

We don’t know a whole lot about Joseph, but we know that he did his job well.

Who is your hero from the Bible?
Why?
