And let me just talk a little bit about Jesus' family,

and it's a ministry family.

That's why I love it so much.

This is a summary from a book I wrote called Spiritfilled Jesus.

But when we read the Bible, you need to know that a lot of what we read was Jude's family.

So there's a priest named Zachariah, his wife's name is Elizabeth.

Those were Jude's relatives like his aunt and uncle. They had a

kid named John the Baptizer. He's like comes in the spirit and power of Elijah.

He's wearing camels hair.

He eats bugs and honey.

He's got, you know, a rope for, a belt.

I mean, this guy's rural, you know, people in Jerome are like, I don't know, you know,

he's very rural, he's a tough guy in a man's man.

That's Jesus, basically his cousin, who prepares the way for the coming of the Lord. We read

about Joseph that was Jesus adoptive father. He wasn't Jesus biological father, but

he was Jesus adopted father.

For those of you who have adopted children,

you're doing what Joseph did for Jesus.

And I always say this to the single men.

If you're a single man, don't overlook the single mothers.

Technically in their day, Mary was a virgin, betrothed or engaged to be married,

and then she became pregnant, technically, categor categorically she's a single mother
