He was the ideal husband and ideal leader, because he was a servant of the Lord.<br /><br /><br />"But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, <br /><br />Arise and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead that sought the young child's life. <br /><br />And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel."<br /><br />Matthew 2:19-21<br /><br /><br />We can imagine Joseph teaching Jesus all the necessary and useful skills for him to grow strong and wise.<br /><br /><br />"And the child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him."<br /><br />-- Luke 2:40<br /><br /><br />"And Jesus advanced in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men."<br /><br />-- Luke 2:52Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5189403982711053078.post-21648074878634668062010-12-22T20:08:41.444-08:002010-12-22T20:08:41.444-08:00That was really nice.
