Saint Joseph, The Quiet Man of Scripture
Saint Joseph, The Quiet Man of Scripture
Topic: Advent, John Wayne, Manhood, Saint Joseph, Virgin Mary
Sermon given by the Rev. Nathan Stomberg on 4 Advent (12/18/2022).
There are no words given to Saint Joseph in all of Scripture, and yet, Joseph is the greatest example of a husband and father in all of humanity. Indeed, Joseph is the most important man who ever lived (apart from Christ). He is here to prove that a good man doesn’t need attention, he doesn’t need to say many words, he doesn’t need to be a superhero. A good man needs to be a righteous man. May we all imitate his uprightness of life and his obedience to God’s commands.
Readings: Isaiah 7:10-17; Psalm 24; Romans 1:1-7; Matthew 1:18-25
