We just don’t know much about Joseph. Although that’s not really a good reason for him getting less time in the Christmas carol collection than the shepherds or wise men. Or the animals! But what we do know about him, though, is helpful in getting a picture of the man. Even in our passage for this week— where Joseph doesn’t even say a word— we can pick up on several things to help us understand what kind of person Joseph was.

Truth is, we need more Josephs. Join us and find out way!
