Matthew 1:18-25 // A Tale of Two Josephs (Preached on December 14, 2025)
from Jeff Shelnutt Sermons · host Jeff Shelnutt
Joseph is called by Scripture a "righteous" man. His righteousness was demonstrated in the way he acted toward Mary and her pregnancy. Though we aren't told much about Joseph, his namesake, Joseph in Genesis, informs our understanding of this man chosen to be the earthly father of Jesus. Though both Josephs were righteous men, they still did not possess the righteousness of God. They, like us, must be gifted a righteousness outside of themselves that comes from God. This is why the Baby in the feeding trough was born, that this gift of God's righteousness might be available to all.
