The Christmas Story Forgot This Man—But God Didn’t | Dr. David Jeremiah

The Christmas Story Forgot This Man—But God Didn’t | Dr. David Jeremiah
Every Christmas, we focus on Mary, the shepherds, the angels, and the Christ child—but often, Joseph is written out of the story. Yet God chose him out of all the men in the world to raise His Son.

In this powerful and deeply moving message from Dr. David Jeremiah, we uncover the overlooked faith, obedience, and courage of Joseph—the earthly father of Jesus Christ. When Joseph discovered that Mary was pregnant before they were married, his world was shaken. According to Jewish law, he had every right to walk away. But instead, he listened to God.

This message reveals:

Why Joseph’s obedience mattered to God’s redemption plan

The meaning of Jewish betrothal and why it made Joseph’s decision so costly

How God works through faithful people who may never stand in the spotlight

Why quiet obedience can change the course of history


Joseph didn’t speak a recorded word in Scripture—but his actions spoke loudly to heaven.
