Welcome Into the Family

Passage: Matthew 2:13–15, 19–23
Service Type:

13 An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take
the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod
is going to search for the child to kill him.” 14 So he got up, took the child and his
mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of
Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of
Egypt I called my son.”
19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt
20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for
those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”
21 So Joseph got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel.
22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father
Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to
the district of Galilee, 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was
fulfilled what was said through the prophets: “He will be called a Nazarene.”
