Out of Egypt I called my Son

As we continue on in our series, “All this took place” we come this week to a few more of the prophecies Jesus fulfilled in his entrance into this earth, and specifically the way that three sets of characters responded to his arrival. The wise men, Herod and the religious leaders, and Mary and Joseph were all presented with a choice to make in how they would respond to the purpose for which Jesus came. In the same way, we must respond to Jesus’ coming, even if that means challenging and potentially even painful realities for us.
