The King’s Flight

Matthew 2:13-23

About the Sermon

This sermon brings to a close our study of the first two chapters in Matthew’s gospel, Jesus the King’s origin story. In the passage before us, Matthew 2:13–23, we will watch as God preserves His Son from the Satanic fury of a false king. And as we move through the text, we will see a common pattern in the story of redemption unfold: flight to Egypt, exile, and return to the land of promise. Listen and be encouraged by the truth that God always protects His Son and His people, and will lead us safely home to Himself in the new Exodus brought about by Jesus Christ.
