Joseph puzzled,
message sent in dream,
child so specially conceived
by God’s Spirt, is to be
Saviour of his people, he
will save them from their sins,
so Joseph was to name him ‘Jesus’
(which means ‘The Lord God saves’)
and as foretold, he’s ‘God with us’,
Immanuel, God now living human life,
and Joseph was to be his earthly father,
and mother Mary, Joseph’s wife.
(Matthew 1:18-25)

I think Joseph must have been a very strong, capable, kind person to manage all sorts of problems he did?

Again, God enabled them and they were young, but humble, quiet and trusting it seems. Joseph had to take the family to Egypt when Herod was trying to kill Jesus, and the providentail gifts of the wise men must have been very timely. Rhiannon
