The story of Christmas for Joseph is a story of 4 surprises. The first is some devastating news of Mary, his fiance's pregnancy. The second, is a strange angelic visitor with a message from God. The third, is a remarkable message that Mary's child is conceived by God and he will save the world from their sins. The fourth surprise is the most staggering of all - that the birth of Jesus shows that God is Immanuel, God with us - a God who is commited to the world in love. He is not far from us, but among us.

Christians have an incredible message of hope in a broken and hurting world. There is no embarrassment that Jesus is the reason for Christmas. And his message is the only hope for the world today.
