The Narrative of Joseph (1 of 5)
Series: Christmas Characters
Donald Cantrell
Matthew 1:18-25
In these five Character Studies we will do a first person characterization of how it might have been with Joseph, Mary, the Shepherds, the Wisemen, and lastly Jesus. You can use these to characterizations to help your church go back to that first Christmas setting and grasp the emotions and the enormity of that sacred time in history. These five characterizations would be very useful if you dressed up or allowed someone else to dress up and have the moment narrated before your audience, letting them sense the emotions of the moment firsthand.

I was getting a lot of ribbing from my friends because I was spending so much time talking to Mary, even losing a few customers because I was talking more than I was working. It was not long before I asked Mary if I could talk to her sister about our future and she said that it would be okay.
It was an unnerving day when I went to Mary's house, because her sister was waiti ...
