What does Ellen White write about...
Adventistische Schriften über: "Joseph, the father of Jesus, what happened?"
Answer
Joseph, the husband of Mary, raised Jesus in Nazareth, where he taught him the trade of carpentry. Documents show that Joseph was a devoted father, who received divine guidance through angels to protect the child's life, including during the flight to Egypt and their return.
Jesus was subject to Joseph during His youth, contributing to the family's upkeep through his work. Although Jesus later recognized His divine origin, He continued to honor the connection with the home in Nazareth and fulfill his duties as a son for many years.
The life and work of Jesus alongside Joseph
»For twelve years of His life, He walked the streets of Nazareth and worked with Joseph at his trade, carefully fulfilling the duties that belonged to a son. Until then, He had given no indication of His distinctive character nor had He manifested the nature of His mission on earth as the Son of God. But on this occasion, He made known to His parents that He had a higher and holier mission to fulfill than they believed.«
Joseph receives divine guidance for the family's safety
»Joseph, who was still in Egypt, was now called by an angel of God to return to the land of Israel. Considering Jesus as the heir to David's throne, Joseph wanted to establish his home in Bethlehem; but learning that Archelaus ruled over Judea in place of his father, he feared that his father's plans against Christ might be carried out by the son... Again, Joseph was guided to a safe place. He returned to Nazareth, his former home.«
The role of an earthly father and family life
»Jesus, the Son of God, working with His hands at the trade of carpentry, set an example for all young people. Those who despise the ordinary duties of life should remember that Jesus was subject to His parents and contributed his share to the family's upkeep. Few luxuries were seen on the table of Joseph and Mary, for they were counted among the poor and humble.«
