POINTS:
Joseph was just a man.
Joseph couldn’t take any credit for Jesus.
Joseph was reminded over and over again of his place behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.
Can you obey God when you are overlooked and counted out by the rest of the world?
Joseph obeyed the Lord without question.
Joseph did not live to see the vindication of his wife Mary.
Can you obey God in the waiting?
Joseph obeyed even in the hard things.
Can you still matter in a culture that says you only matter when you are in the spotlight?
Can you be who God has called you without being a social media celebrity?
To follow Joseph’s example and Jesus’s example, we must answer the call of God outside of the spotlight.
