Matthew 2:13-23 – Christmas 1 (A)

In this episode of Preaching the Text, Steve Paulson and John Hoyum discuss Matthew's account of the slaughter of infant boys by Herod at Bethlehem, along with the flight of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus to Egypt. We learn about Joseph's faithfulness to his family and his protection of the infant Christ. All this points toward the faithfulness of God in supplying a messiah, and the way that evil is finally overcome. Support this show 1517 Podcasts Craft of Preaching
