Joseph - The Promise Believed
Every year, during the Christmas season, we hear a lot about many characters in the Christmas story. We hear about Mary. We hear about the shepherds. We hear about the wise men (who by the way didn't even show up until a couple of years later - go figure!) Even the sheep, the donkeys and the turtledoves get mentioned, but Joseph is almost like a fifth-wheel. He shows up in the Christmas program, but he doesn't bring any gifts. He doesn't sing any songs. He doesn't make any speeches. He just stands there in his sandals and his robe minding his own business.
Until one day, God told Joseph he was going to be a part of seeing The Promise come true. God is about to bring to pass all the prophecies concerning the Messiah and He is going to use Joseph to be a part of it which is perhaps why someone has called Joseph, the unsung hero of the Bible.
As you are going to see, even though Joseph doesn't say anything, there's a lot of things said about Joseph.
