12/20/14

Mat 2:13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him."

Mat 2:14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt

Mat 2:15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son."

This may indeed seem to be a strange turn of events just to fulfill a prophecy, but remember that God is not accountable to us, and His ways are not our ways. We can see, in this, the way that Joseph was willing to follow the leading of God in all matters.
