Meet Joseph!
... the Husband of Mary and Step Father of Jesus
Christians are very familiar with Mary, her faithfulness and courage . . . and the part she played in God's plan to bring the promised Messiah to the world. But most of us know very little about Joseph and his story. This script of historical fiction brings Joseph to life! Learn about his faithfulness, resourcefulness, strength, and courage and the central influence Joseph had in the formative years of the promised Messiah.
Four times Joseph was visited by an angel of God in his dreams and asked to do something extremely difficult. And four times he obeyed in spite of the compromise to his reputation, his work, and his safety. In addition, it was Joseph's responsibility to teach the Jewish laws and scriptures to Jesus and exemplify God's fatherly love and grace.
Why did God choose Joseph ben Jacob to raise His son? As we hear Joseph tell his story, we trust you will gain an appreciation for this simple but extraordinary man, the qualities that made him worthy of our respect and admiration, and, of course, a deeper insight into why God chose Joseph, among all other men, to raise His son!
As a performance, the story runs about twenty-five minutes and can replace a sermon, be offered during a Sunday School hour, be part of a special Christmas or Saint Joseph celebration, or used for instructional purposes. However, Joseph may certainly be read just for enjoyment and the insight it offers into a vital person in God's plan . . . a life much overlooked.
So meet Joseph and hear his story!
