Our Advent sermon series, Lessons from the Nativity Set, brings us today to the story of Joseph. In the luster of angelic visits, colorful wise men and shining stars, it is easy to lose sight of this quiet man. We don’t actually know if he was the quiet type, but we understand him as a humble and unselfish character – willing to be obedient to God even when required to make personal sacrifice.
Joseph agreed to be surrogate dad to the savior of the world, an intimidating task for anybody. Today we celebrate Joseph’s openness to God’s call and his example to Christians of all times. Could you be as obedient as Joseph?
Blessings,
Rev. Nancy
