How obedient are we? How obedient are we to those in authority over us and how obedient are we to God? In the New Testament not much is known about Joseph, Mary’s husband. We know, for instance, that he is not mentioned when his wife Mary gives instructions at the wedding in Cana. It is probable that Joseph died when Jesus was relatively young. What we do know about Joseph is that he was very obedient. When the angel told him to marry Mary, he did. When the angel told him to take his wife and the child to Egypt from Bethlehem, he did. When the angel told him to return to Nazareth from Egypt, following Herod’s death, he did. What about us, how obedient to God are we? How obedient are we in feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, taking in the stranger, clothing the naked, comforting the sick and visiting those in prison? How obedient are we in simply doing the right thing? What can we learn from the obedience of Joseph?
