One time, my former UPC pastor said that one reason why men should not have facial hair is because of the story of Joseph. He said that when Joseph went in to see the Pharaoh, he had to shave his beard....So when we enter the presence of our King, we need to shave our beards, too.
I guess he didn't know that the High Priest of Israel had a beard? (
Ps. 133:2)
