While the specifics of Joseph's age may remain a historical mystery, the legacy of his faith and Mary's devotion endure as powerful examples of how God's providence can work through ordinary individuals to accomplish extraordinary purposes.

Peter was a bold example of how anyone can live boldly for God if they rely on the power of prayer and the Holy Spirit. He is a highly relatable figure, coming from a fisherman lifestyle into a powerhouse giant of the faith.

This made Cain jealous of his brother and angry that God would accept someone else's sacrifice before his own. So he killed Abel—and this is why we're not supposed to be jealous.
