THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 5: Jesus Time in Egypt |
|
|
Joseph was a successful contractor and most likely
built homes. After the birth of Jesus, he rented a house in
Bethlehem for Mary’s purification. Then they traveled to Jerusalem
to dedicate Jesus at the temple. God set up a divine appointment
with Simeon and Anna, who each thanked the Lord for allowing them to
see the Messiah. Life continued in Bethlehem for two years until the
famous wise men from the east arrived with gifts fit for a king.
Afterwards, an angel spoke separately to Joseph and the wise men.
The wise men were told to shun Herod and Joseph was instructed to
take his family to Egypt. With the gold, frankincense, and myrrh
from the wise men, Joseph had the means to flee to a foreign land
and take care of his family. God’s redemption plan worked because of
the intervention of holy angels. All the events on earth were
choreographed in heaven to make sure each messianic prophecy was
fulfilled and Jesus was protected at the same time. |
