Paternity of Jesus

from Church? Hell No Hosted by Dennis Hall

Ordained minister, Dr. Dennis Hall, reflects on how Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, appears almost as an afterthought in the Christmas story. The story of Joseph who is the stand-in father for the Messiah caused Dr. Hall to reflect on the number of men in the US who unknowingly raise children who are not their own and the staggering number of children who grow up in a fatherless home. The scant information in the Scripture about Joseph is used to outline who he is and why God chose him to be in his role as the earthly father of Jesus. There is much discussion in this podcast about how Mary’s pregnancy created by the Holy Spirit put Joseph in a difficult situation. God intervenes and Joseph’s courage is astounding. Dr. Hall concludes the podcast by appealing to listeners to embrace the qualities that Joseph exhibited. Can be seen on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/lMko7OqkChY
