The Legacy of Joseph

Matthew's Gospel reveals that God wasn't just looking for a virgin girl to bear His Son—He was looking for a complete package, a righteous couple who would faithfully raise the Messiah. Joseph emerges as a man of remarkable character: faithful to Scripture, genuinely concerned for Mary's well-being, and committed to doing what was right regardless of personal cost. His integrity shines through in his actions. Pastor Hilton challenges us to consider what kind of legacy we're leaving behind. Are we people who take Scripture seriously, who lead with integrity in our homes, who sacrifice ourselves for the well-being of our families? Joseph's example reminds us that God uses ordinary people who are willing to be obedient, even when obedience is costly and misunderstood by others.
