Description
"Joseph may be the marginalized man, but through his recognition of the Savior, through his obedience to the Lord who comes in weakness and humility, Joseph is brought from the margins to the very centre of God's purposes for the world. That was Joseph's story, and that can be our story." In this chapel message from Matthew 1.18-25, Iwan Russell-Jones reflects on Joseph's place in the Advent story. What might we have to learn from this man who found himself co-opted and adopted into God's plan to provide a Savior?
