During the season of Advent, we will examine familiar birth-story characters from a different point of view, and take a look at characters who we may never have considered before. This week we reflect on Joseph. He isn’t quite as overlooked as some others, but we often forget the pivotal role he played in Mary's unfolding journey and in the birth of Jesus. Joseph’s experience invites us to live by the "spirit of the law" and to be guided by the Spirit of God. Can we join him in standing in the midst of tension and conflict, and face them faithfully?

Scripture References: Matthew 1:18-25
