This 25 day reading plan will highlight the birth of Jesus and the purpose of HIS coming. We will be mixing some New Testament and Old Testament passages to help tell the story.
Today, we are reading Matthew 2:19-23; Isaiah 49:7.
But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,
20
saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.
21
And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.
22
But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:
23
And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.
Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.
