"The Long Wait: Mary & Joseph" - Matthew 1

Do you read or do you study the Bible? or both? What will you do differently when you read scripture and come to a place, like a parable, that you don’t fully understand? Why or why not do you view Jesus as your friend? If someone asked you to describe Jesus what would you tell them? Would you say “Yes Jesus, your will not mine” even if it cost you your honor and reputation in the eyes of the world. Is there a cost to obeying God that would be too much?
