The Courage of Joseph ()
Dennis Kreiss, May 5, 2018Part of the Jesus - the Incomparable Christ series, preached for Growing Together Radio
Some decisions are very difficult to make. Some problems are thornier than others. Some have long-term consequences that threaten our reputation and our dreams. Yet, sometimes those problems are not what they seem to be on the surface. Sometimes it takes some serious, unhurried, thoughtful deliberation before we can see God’s plan for our lives.
Joseph and Mary are in love! They are betrothed to be wed within the year... that is until Mary turns up very pregnant – with some one else’s child! Her shy claim that her pregnancy is supernatural is confusing and troubling to Joseph. He knows the law and it crosses his mind to make her pay the ultimate price. But he knows his heart, and despite the hurt, he decides to settle the matter privately with a quiet divorce and walk away from his dreams forever… until God intervenes.
