Day 276: Matthew 2

Today on Meditating the Word: Visit from the Kings of the East, Escape to Egypt, and Return to Nazareth.

This is Day 276. Today we are reading Matthew 2

Father God, how amazing Your Word is! How can anyone doubt that You exist, and that Jesus is the Savior! Over thousands of years, prophecies were made that were all fulfilled in Him. Born in Bethlehem to a virgin; the kings from the East with their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh; You calling your Son out of Egypt; Herod's murder of the male children in Bethlehem; Jesus being raised in Nazareth... The odds against all of these prophecies being fulfilled by one person are staggering. How could anyone doubt Your Word? And if the prophecies were true, then Your promises must also be true. Thank You, Father, for the gift of salvation -- not just in the hereafter, but also in the here and now. Amen
