God offers Joseph a Christmas Gift. Joseph had a choice to take it or leave it. If he said no, he would have been miserable down here, then the eternal consequences (Hell). What a waste! But because he believed, because he trusted God, because he said yes to God, then he got to do things no one but Mary did. He fed the bread of life. He gave drink to the spring of living water. He helped the Way walk. He protected the Great Protector. He taught the Teacher. What a Christmas Gift Joseph got! Do you have that same gift? We (each of us) are in the exact same place right now. God is wanting to give us a gift right this moment. We, too have a choice to make. Are we gonna say no to God? Are we gonna do things our own way? Are we gonna be miserable? Are we gonna go to hell (both on earth and after life)? Or are we gonna choose to say yes to God's greatest gift and have Jesus in our lives? Man oh man, you talk about a life. That's living when Jesus is in your life.
