John 10: 7 So Yeshua said again, “Amen, amen I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
11 “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
14 “I am the Good Shepherd. I know My own and My own know Me, 15 just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not from this fold; those also I must lead, and they will listen to My voice. So there shall be one flock, one Shepherd. Source
Listening for The Shepherd ~ ~ ~ I’m one from the other fold.
The Bible does not tell us in so many words what Joseph said when JESUS was born. Nor does it detail for us the interaction he had with JESUS, but since Joseph was chosen by THE FATHER, I am certain HE chose very well.
I wonder if Joseph cradled GOD in human flesh, longing for HIM to be his son for just a moment. Perhaps for just a moment, for just that one night he could protect GOD from HIS own world.
