There's Hope For Todayಮಾದರಿ

Have you noticed that when you really want to keep something quiet, the information always seems to find its way to some mega-mouth with all the tact of a five-year-old child?
Mary’s pregnancy was an issue that Joseph wanted to handle with gracious discretion (Matthew 1:19). It’s tough to be discreet in a small town. Though he was comforted by angelic instruction, Joseph’s quiet life must have taken a stunning turn when Mary turned up pregnant. You can bet that Joseph and Mary were the talk of Nazareth for a while. To complicate matters, the Romans launched a census. This meant that Joseph would arrive at the ultimate family reunion in Bethlehem with Mary on the threshold of childbirth – so much for keeping things quiet! The journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem covered some 75 miles. One can only imagine the harsh difficulties that Joseph faced. He must have been quite a man.
God chose him to be the protector of His only Son. His cameo appearance in the Gospel stirs my curiosity. Matthew, Mark, Luke or John could have told us so much more, but they were focused on revealing Jesus to the world not as the son of Joseph, but as the only begotten Son of God.
