Journey With Jesus 365Sample
Matthew Chapter 2 narrates the events surrounding the early life of Jesus as He travels to Egypt. The chapter begins with wise men from the East arriving in Jerusalem, seeking the newborn King of the Jews, guided by a star. Their journey represents the recognition of Jesus' kingship beyond Jewish boundaries, demonstrating the universal significance of His birth. Feeling threatened by the prophecy of a new ruler, King Herod deceitfully inquires about the child's whereabouts, intending to eliminate Him. Warned in a dream, the wise men avoid returning to Herod, illustrating divine intervention and protection. Meanwhile, Joseph receives a divine warning to flee to Egypt with Mary and Jesus, safeguarding them from Herod's impending massacre. The chapter concludes with Herod's tragic order to massacre male children in Bethlehem, a somber reminder of the world's darkness contrasted with the light of Christ.
How does the journey of the wise men and the protection of Jesus encourage us to seek and trust God's guidance in our own life's journey?
