Joseph’s Six Words

Luke’s brief report (2:1–5) sets Joseph and Mary on a hard, very human journey: a state-mandated registration, late-term travel, complicated family history, and no easy place to land. Behind the census and lineage is a man choosing steady, quiet faithfulness—walking, registering, finding shelter, staying. This week we enter the scene through “Six-Word Advent” lines that might fit Joseph’s perspective.
