Today hero we will be talking about today is Joseph in the New Testament. Joseph was an ordinary man who was to marry Mary, no one special in any book that I can read before the angels came and told Her of the birth of a Christ by her a virgin. When Joseph heard that Mary was pregnant, He becomes the hero in the Bible for taking Her as His wife. Instead of stoning Her, He accepted her as his wife. Which was the practice back then when this kind of thing happened. Things like getting pregnant out of marriage just weren't done like today. marriage back then was sacred. The wedding isn't discussed, but we know that it does say that Joseph took Mary as His wife because the Bible tells us so. There isn't much said about Joseph in the Bible.
19 And her husband Joseph, since he was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace her, planned to send her away secretly. 20 But when he had thought this over, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:19-20 NASB.
39 And when His parents had completed everything in accordance with the Law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own city of Nazareth. 40 Now the Child continued to grow and to become strong, increasing in wisdom; and the favor of God was upon Him. Luke 2: 39-40 NASB.
For If He had stoned her, Jesus would have not been born and our savior would not be no more. But Jesus was born, and our savior lives on the throne in heaven and will return on a white horse one day!!!!! So you may think of Joseph of the Old Testament, but this Joseph is a hero for what he did!!!!
Have a day of looking and reading about Joseph of the New Testament and mediate on these verses!!!
