We have a sufficient Savior for shadowy seasons.
3 ways that Matthew proves our Savior is sufficient for shadowy seasons.
- Verses 13-14 is that God is our Shield of Sovereignty.
- Verses 15-18 is that By faithfully reliving failed patterns of the past, Jesus IS the True Israel.
- Verses 19-23 is that Jesus is our Anchor of Fulfillment.
Even when the King is in exile or living in obscurity, God’s Word is an immovable anchor. Nothing in Jesus’ life was an accident, and nothing in ours is either.
In Matthew 1, He is called Immanuel (God with us). In Matthew 2, we see exactly what "with us" looks like: it looks like fleeing in the night, living in obscurity, and navigating a world where tyrants sometimes seem to win and His Presence provides us with a Hopeful Faith.
