Take Care Of My Son

March 30, 2022
Daily Reading – Deuteronomy 25-27 / Luke 3:23-4:13

WHAT GOD HAS SAID:

Luke 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,

WHAT I HAVE SEEN:

      Three little words in the middle of this verse reminds us of the care Joseph gave in raising Jesus. (“As was supposed.”) Everyone around still supposed, after 30 years, that Jesus was Joseph’s son. That would not have happened if Joseph had treated Jesus different from his other children. Joseph realized his lot in life. To care for, love, and lead Jesus to adulthood. When God chose Joseph to be the stepfather of Jesus, He was in essence saying, Joseph, take care of my Son. Make sure He has a good name in the community.

      When God saved us by giving His Son Jesus to die for us, He is kind of telling us the same thing. Take care of my Son’s name in all that you do. Make sure He has a good name in the community.

WHAT WILL YOU DO:

     What are you doing with the name of Jesus today?
