- It's always Christmas in my heart.

- Okay.

- Hey, I was justthinking, do you know how

Jesus is God's son?

- Yeah.

- And Joseph helped raise him?

- Yeah, so?

- Do you think Joseph everyfelt weird about raising

God's son, or did he totallytrust God through it all?

(spring boinging)

(air whooshing)

- You know, I bet Josephwas scared out of his mind

when he found out he wasgonna be raising God's son.

- Really?

- Yeah!

The Bible doesn't talk awhole lot about Joseph,

but we do get to see a bit ofhis perspective in Matthew 1.

- Oh, yo, yo, can we act it out?

- Sure.

- Sweet, I'm gonna get the props.

- If you'd like to followalong your Superbook Bible app,

we'll be reading Matthewchapter 1, verses 18 through 25.

He's going to save theworld from their sins.

You look a little shaken!

I'm supposed to be responsible for the

care and wellbeing of the son of God!

he's going to be perfect!

Plus, you won't be raising him alone.

- No, you'll have Mary with you!

You know, 'cause you'regoing to marry her!

- That's right!

I'm gonna marry Mary,and together we're gonna

take care of the son of God.

Um, what did you say to name him again?

So you good?

instead of on your own understanding.
