Of course!” Seems like a simple question for most believers, right?

“Does the Lord delight in burnt

offerings and sacrifices

as much as in obeying the voice

of the Lord?

 

To obey is better than sacrifice,

and to heed is better than

the fat of rams.

 

For rebellion is like the sin of

divination,

and arrogance like the evil of

idolatry — 1 Samuel 15:22-23

Somehow in the equation of Jesus’ life, Joseph didn’t factor in to the story much, yet he played a very significant role.

“Why would God want me to do [or not do] that?”

Jesus replied, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."

But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
