Spared from Death to Die (Matthew 2:13-23)

Christmas holidays mean family time, often with extended family travel and visits. Meals are prepared, gifts are given, memories are made. But the memories might not all be good. Sometimes there are Christmas hurts or even tragedies. We live in a world still affected by sin.That sin showed itself in the ugliest of ways through a death sentence decreed on all young boys shortly after the Savior’s birth. Nevertheless, God intervened to spare his Son from death, so that he could live to die another day in order to save us. So not even the sinfulness of the world can rob us of the peace God offers through his Son!
