Jesus was his son as demonstrated by Joseph's following the role of a father both in terms of caring for him and in taking Him to the temple and performing the laws in regarding the raising of a child (Luke 2:21). Joseph was Jesus’ earthly father which is emphasized when Jesus makes references to His Heavenly Father.<BR/><BR/>This isn’t an analogy. Jesus was not the biological child of Joseph, yet Joseph raised him as his son. Part of your comment mentioned that Jesus’ adoption would imply that His Father was dead. I think that is where we would truly differ. Whether or not a child’s parent is dead does not have any implicationon whether or not the child can be adopted. I have adopted three children myself. The first child, Willy, still has a living mother. The next two children I adopted came from a war-torn nation and there is absolutely no information on their whereabouts or health.. Their biological parents may be dead, or they may have been separated from my kids, or they may have abandoned these children. It does not impact the adoption in any way.<BR/><BR/>There are legal issues involved in adoption, especially today (and some even in ancient times), but most of what the adoption process is about does not concern legalities at all. Some of it involves cultural issues (which I will address in a moment in the case of Jesus), but most of it is about how the adopting parents relate to the child. Do they parent the child? Do they care for the child? Do they raise the child as their own, teaching them the ways of the world and more importantly the ways of faith?<BR/><BR/>So, to that last point first. Mary and joseph raised Jesus according to their faith:<BR/><BR/>“Every year his parents went to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Passover. When he was twelve years old, they went up to the Feast, according to the custom.” --Luke 2:41-42<BR/><BR/>Both Joseph and Mary are referred to as Jesus parents, and they were involved in insuring that Jesus was raised according to their faith.<BR/><BR/>There is the culutual issue. Did Mary and Joseph’s community see Jesus as their child?<BR/><BR/>“Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat, the son of Levi...” --Luke 3:23-24<BR/><BR/>Jesus was adopted in the eyes of the community. Friends and neighbors saw Jesus as the child of Joseph.<BR/><BR/>Adoption was not uncommon, and it gave Jesus the fuller human experience.<BR/><BR/>Joseph performed other parental roles, he named Jesus.<BR/><BR/>“...But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,because he will save his people from their sins." --Mathew 1:20-21.<BR/><BR/>The Bible refers to Mary and Joseph as “the child’s father and mother””<BR/><BR/>“...Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: ‘Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel.’<BR/><BR/>The child's father and mother marveled at what was said about him....” --Luke 2:28-33.<BR/><BR/>Jesus was born of a mortal woman, and raised by mortal parents. Jesus experienced life as we do, showing us a perfect life. Joseph took that child as his own. Jesus was adopted.Curious Servanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564580536911743558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-1137699984185485732006-01-19T11:46:00.000-08:002006-01-19T11:46:00.000-08:00Yeah.

First of all, good blog and insight. I think the Bible tells us about G-d being safe as a verb "security" comes to my mind or "assurance". I believe their are times when G-d calls us to unsafe places or people to minister His Shalom (wholeness) to the dark, even it being the end of our safety. I will go to G-d this week to learn more about what you have taught. I cherish your thoughts and knowledge.<BR/><BR/>Peace with you always.Professor Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875517056843937269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-1137522698984456552006-01-17T10:31:00.000-08:002006-01-17T10:31:00.000-08:00Thanks Curious...this was a well needed blog.B~Thanks Curious...this was a well needed blog.<BR/><BR/>B~Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607997312883343908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12075278.post-1137510876214702312006-01-17T07:14:00.000-08:002006-01-17T07:14:00.000-08:00Yes, yes, yes!

Most of the time my heart approaches as a child...I'm climbing up on His lap for a hug, for a listening ear, for wisdom and guidance, or just simply to 'be'...to worship and tell Him I love Him. It is really hard for me to wrap my head around 'being in Godly fear'. I am in awe when I look at all He has created and done. I am able to revere Him as I gaze at the night sky. But coming before Him with Godly fear...I think it makes me feel He is unapproachable...I'm not sure where the balance is. Anyway, you gave me lots to reflect on today.
