Good Morning “Like Jesus Lovers”. Today we’re in Matthew 2.
The long awaited Savior of the world has arrived - born in Bethlehem just as was prophesied! He is finally here! “But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’” Matthew 2:6 NIV Yet another prophecy regarding Jesus fulfilled (Micah 5:2,4). God picked the perfect time and place for Jesus to be born - just like He said.
Herod was an evil king who had already had 2 of his own sons killed and put a 3rd on the chopping block. Everyone knew this new king was coming - they were anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Promised One who would be the Savior of the world! Herod wasn’t having it! He was King and not about to watch the people’s attention turn to another. This stone cold killer puts a plan into motion - but our God is WAY bigger. He thwarts the plans of men, frustrates the plans of the wicked so they achieve no success (Proverbs 19:21; Psalm 33:10; Psalm 146:9)
God protects Jesus along with Mary and Joseph. He is in sovereign control… ALWAYS. Jesus came to show us how to live, to show us how to love, and to become sin for us so that we might live (2 Corinthians 5:21)!
Love you all! Dig in and live it out!
