Joseph "Jesus' Birth"

Joseph was a Carpenter; he is Jesus Christ earthly father. Joseph was engaged to Mary and shortly after, he discovered Mary was pregnant. Bewildered and confused Joseph first thought was Mary had been unfaithful.  Joseph being an upright man, and not desiring to make her a public example, had a mind to break their engagement. However, after he had been informed of the truth by an angel (Matthew 1:18-25), he treated Mary kindly.

Joseph and Mary were hardly special individuals in themselves, but God graciously used them for His purpose to bring His Son into the world.

We need to honor Joseph because he was a considerate husband, an obedient servant, and a good citizen.
