Christmas Courage: Joseph

The life of Joseph is often overlooked. Yes, central to the Christmas scene is Christ. Then we read of the miraculous virgin birth, and of the awe struck shepherds and the amazing visit from the Magi. Of course we also see the wicked devices of Herod and the wonderful protection God provided. But little is said of Joseph, who is a silent but courageous instrument used by God. This message will examine Joseph's life and his role in our Savior's birth.
