Being Used By God

December 19, 2010 - Matthew 1:18-24. It seems that most people have a hard time knowing what to do with Joseph and his role in the Divine drama that we call the Christmas story. Why did God choose to use Joseph? What caused him to stand out from all the other Jewish men at the time? Was it just the luck of the draw, or were there character qualities modeled by Joseph that God seeks when He wants to use someone?
