…being fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. -- Romans 4:21
The role of Joseph is one for reflection. Matthew’s first chapter lays the full weight for the legal status and naming of this child squarely on Joseph’s shoulders. He not only accepts this role but carries it out courageously and faithfully. Those of us who waver, who don’t quite trust God to help us through our next quandary, need to become better acquainted with this man who is a rock of faith. |
