This Advent episode is part of our Heroes of the New Testament series. Throughout December, we are exploring key characters from the Christmas story, beginning this week with Joseph. Tony Andrews reflects on Matthew 1:18–25, where Joseph’s ordered life is shaken and God invites him into a deeper, riskier obedience. 🙌
Tony highlights Joseph’s righteousness, tenderness, and self-discipline as he chooses God’s third way: to trust Mary, believe the angel’s message, and name the child Jesus – the One who will save His people from their sins. In fulfilling Isaiah 7:14, this story reveals Emmanuel, “God with us,” and reminds us that even when we feel alone, God has always been with us and is working out a plan of salvation and hope. 🎄💖
Part of our December focus on heroes from the Christmas story:
•This week: Tony on Joseph
