- Matt 2: 13-23 . Escape to Egypt
For Joseph, his dreams which fore tell of the future portray him living his worst nightmare. The dream is an urgent message to go and for his new family to flee. Mary, Joseph and Jesus seek refuge in Egypt and if that wasn’t enough, he is then told to go to Nazareth. When will relief come? Church is a place of sanctuary, a place of refuge, a place of warmth and security, a place of welcome and belonging. How will we be a place of sanctuary and refuge to all people? How will we transform our brokenness and live into the future?
