The Unexpected Commitment
Dec 17, 2023 • Pastor Esra Paano, Jason Lawrence Turner
Although Jesus had no earthly father, God in his providence included Joseph, Mary’s betrothed, in his plans to bring Jesus into the world. Despite his initial discomfort, Joseph’s presence brought protection to Mary, who escaped the law’s penalty toward unwed mothers. He reminds us that God calls his people to step into roles to exercise leadership and responsibility for His glory.
