Joseph, the husband of Mary, isn’t mentioned much in the Bible…but from what we do read, we have a picture of character & heart. A hardworking & humble carpenter…devout in his worship of God & in adherence of the Law. But still considerate and loving enough to want to spare his betrothed Mary the embarrassment & indignities when he discovered she was pregnant, but not with his child. But regardless, still Joseph raised Jesus as his own flesh & blood…leading a quiet life in Nazareth providing for his family as a village builder/repairman…all the while teaching his boy, Jesus, the trade. But Jesus learned so much more than carpentry from Joseph…He learned integrity, honesty, and a work ethic standing there beside His earthly father.
