Risking a good reputation
08. December. 24

Joseph was an honorable craftsman and Israelite, a direct descendant of King David. He was engaged to Mary. His fiancée traveled to visit her relatives for three months. When she returned, Joseph realized that she was pregnant. What a shock, his fiancée had cheated on him!

Joseph wanted to save Mary from the death penalty for adultery, as they were already considered a couple. He wanted to leave her secretly.

Then an angel appeared to Joseph and said: ‘Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife!’

Matthew 1:20

How much courage, strength and trust in God this Joseph had! Instead of thinking of himself and his reputation, he trusted God. He accepted God’s plan for him, Mary and this unborn child. He married his pregnant Mary and became the stepfather of God’s son!
