Good or Great?

Great Man Of God
We seldom think of Joseph(the earthly father of Jesus) as a "great man of God" someone special yes but not a giant hero.  I believe he was a hero because of the great discipline and godliness he demonstrated in one verse of scripture.  I mean after all she was already pregnant and she is going to be my wife so why not.  No, Joseph was a great man of God with incredible discipline.  He wanted above all to honor God. 
And Joseph awoke from his sleep and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took Mary as his wife, but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.
Matthew 1:24-25
