The biblical account of Jesus’ birth reveals that fear played a significant role in the lives of the main characters. Today’s message will focus on the life and testimony of Joseph, Mary’s husband and the earthly father of Jesus, who learned to trust God in the midst of peril and uncertainty. Although seemingly unimportant when compared to Mary and Jesus, Joseph embraced his unique role, fixed His focus on God, and today is remembered as an example of faith and obedience.
