Now it is time for Mary, Joseph and Jesus, their son to return to Israel. Matthew 19-23, NIV, Life Application Bible: "After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's life are dead." So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."
So, goes the story of Jesus Christ's birth. We will now continue in the days forward to look at the ministry of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior to mankind. There is a great deal of discussion and debate what it is that Jesus did as a young man as well as what happened between the years that separated the Old Testament and the New Testament. It is understood that there was 400 years that separated the two Testament's. But, we do know that Jesus did walk the earth as you and I do today but that He was God's Son and that He preached God's law and that He was God Himself in human flesh.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Alex and Dave.
