## Resource

What would it have been like to have Jesus as your adopted son? Dr. John Whitcomb will help us ponder that question as he continues his Advent study on "The Fears and Faith of Joseph" here on "Encounter God's Truth." Joseph appears to have been a humble man who faced many challenges throughout his life. Yet the Lord used him in spite of the profound difficulties he faced—so we trust that you will be encouraged by this unique perspective on one who may be the most neglected person in the Christmas story. Host Wayne Shepherd also asks Dr. Whitcomb what kind of spiritual impact Jesus' miracles had on the other children of Joseph and Mary. God's Word is true from the beginning to the end! Enjoy it in this blessed Advent season.
