Joseph of Nazareth joins Twitter
December 10th, 2011 - 12:45 am ICT by Aishwarya BhattNew York, Dec 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) A German is trying to mimic what it must have been like to be Joseph in the Nativity story. Using the screen name joseph_von_naza (Joseph of Nazareth), the person has already attracted thousands of followers because of the story that he is writing.
In the Bible, Joseph was engaged to be married to Mary but before the marriage could come on, the LORD visited her and she conceived JESUS CHRIST. Joseph wanted to call off the engagement but never wanted to humiliate Mary in the process. However before he could carry out his intention, an Angel visited him in a vision and told him not to throw out Mary because the pregnancy is from the LORD.
Joseph_von_naza in trying to play Joseph in the 21st century wrote on Twitter that, “We have heard the story a thousand times, but nobody has ever thought about what Joseph felt about the whole thing.”
After that introduction, Joseph_von_naza stepped into gear with flurry of tweets which mimicked how it will be like to be Joseph at that time. In one tweet, he wrote that, “Did not sleep a wink the whole night. I am considering seriously whether I should leave Mary.”
He has been updating the tweet since he created the screen name on the 7th of December.
