    Joseph Accepting God’s Will

    December 18, 2016 Joseph Accepting God's Will. The story of Joseph is an aspect of the story of Christmas that is often overlooked.
     

    The story of Joseph is an aspect of the story of Christmas that is often overlooked. It is about a man who quietly accepts God's will, even when it runs against the grain of societal propriety. Today he is revered as a patron saint of the Catholic church and of unborn children, fathers, immigrants, workers, employment, carpenters, realtors, against doubt and hesitation, and of a happy death. But in his life, he was simply a husband, father, and carpenter.

    How appropriate that he should be the patron saint  "against doubt and hesitation." When an angel revealed the identity of Mary's yet-to-be-born child, Joseph expressed no doubt nor hesitation in accepting his role as the earthly father of the Son of God. From that time on we see a Joseph as a protective father who cared for his wife and son with loving dedication.

    God may never have spoken to you through an angel as he did to Joseph, but his Holy Word has clear instructions for every one of us. Above all, we are told to love God with every fabric of our being and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. May that love of God and neighbor enrich all our hearts this Christmas season.

    Hope to Your Future

    God can bring Peace to your Past, Purpose to your present, and Hope to your future. John 14:27

       John the Baptist was a young man, probably in his late-twenties, when he began his wilderness ministry. To the common men and women of Judea he was a prophet in the mode of Elijah, sent by God to prepare the way for the promised Messiah. 

            This was his life's purpose - to share a message of hope in the One who would fulfill all God's promises. Thrust into prison by King Herod, his entire life's hope rested in Jesus. There were many signs and prophecies pointing to Jesus as the One. But before John's execution took place, his heart longed to know if his life's passions and exertions had been in vain. Did Jesus himself believe himself to be the Messiah?

             Yes! When John sent a message to Jesus asking if he was the promised One, Jesus answered in unequivocal terms that He was the One. He pointed to his actions, his miracles, his fulfillment of prophecy.

             Those same evidences, described in the world's most miraculous collection of writings, the Bible, are ours today. They remind us that ours is not a hope pulled out of thin air but firmly planted in reason and faith. May that hope grow in us all during this Advent season!
