Joseph, husband of Mary, was a good
example of what God expected a saint under the law to be (Mic. 6:8--to do
justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God). Note in Mt. 1:19
that God calls Joseph a just man, but also note Joseph's mercy toward Mary in
not making her a "publick example"! As for his humility, just read
vv. 20-25 and see how he obeys the Lord in marrying a woman who appears to have
conceived unlawfully, meekly embracing the stigma (John 8:41). A truly great
man, though not a single word of his is recorded in scripture.
