Light from the Old Testament Upon the Nativity 8: “That the Scriptures Might be Fulfilled”

from A Lamp for Today · host Dr. Edith M. Humphrey

This week we complete our reading of the Nativity stories by adding Matthew’s account (Matt 1:1-2:18), and seeing its important connections to Genesis 35:19-20, Jeremiah 31:15-16, Isaiah 7:14, Hosea 11:1, and Micah 5:2. Matthew deliberately quotes and alludes to the Old Testament to show how Jesus recapitulates the story of humankind and of Israel, putting us right with God.
