--HE CALLED HIS NAME JESUS~~

-'And Joseph took to him his wife, and did not know her till she had brought forth her firstborn Son. And he called His name Jesus!-( Matthew 1:25)

Joseph was literally willing to tank his reputation. And he did. He traded it for a pregnant fiancée and an illegitimate son and made the big decision of discipleship. He placed God’s plan ahead of his own. Rather than make a name for himself, he made a home for Christ. And because he did, a great reward came his way.

“He called His name Jesus!” Of all the saints, sinners, prodigals, and preachers who’ve spoken the name, Joseph—a blue-collar, small-town construction worker said it first. Joseph cradled the wrinkle-faced Prince of heaven, and with an audience of angels and pigs, he whispered, 'Jesus—you will be called Jesus!'
