Joseph, the often-overlooked apostle of Jesus, holds a unique place in the early Christian narrative . While not as prominently featured as Peter, Paul, or James, his life and ministry offer a fascinating glimpse into the foundational years of the Church. Joseph willingly obeyed God , in spite of the public humiliation he would face. This move speaks volumes about his character and his faith. What other facts do we know about Joseph in the Bible? When we think of the birth of Jesus , Mary often takes center stage, but standing quietly beside her is Joseph —a man of remarkable faith, integrity, and humility. Though Scripture doesn’t give us many details about Joseph ’s life, his role as the earthly father of Jesus is undeniably profound. Joseph teaches Jesus how to walk and Mary how to pray ; Joseph, carpentry; Mary, exposition of the Scriptures. Accordingly, the increase in Jesus’ “stature” is a credit to Joseph; his increase in “wisdom,” to Mary. What does Joseph have to do with Jesus Christ? Joseph was the eleventh son of Jacob (Israel), and it is prophesied that his descendants will play an essential role in bringing the whole House of Israel to Christ in the latter days. Joseph’s role in Jesus’ life was marked by unwavering faith , selfless love , and quiet strength . His crucial role in safeguarding and nurturing Jesus underscores his enduring significance in the biblical narrative. The Bible tells us, “The LORD was with Joseph ” (Genesis 39:2), a simple phrase that speaks volumes. When life seems bleak, and circumstances appear unfair, we can cling to the same assurance that there is divine help that upholds us in every low point. Joseph , a humble carpenter who lived a quiet life, left no words recorded in Scripture. Yet God chose him to be the earthly father of the Messiah. On this episode of Turning Point, Dr. David Jeremiah takes a closer look at Joseph and the important responsibilities that he accepted as Jesus ’s protector, teacher and role model.
