About this listen

In this powerful message from Matthew 2:13–23 , Alex explores the flight to Egypt, Herod’s violence, and the return to Nazareth — revealing how even the darkest moments of Jesus’ early life were part of God’s sovereign plan.

Matthew presents Jesus as the promised King — the true Son called out of Egypt, fulfilling the story of Israel and beginning a greater Exodus. From the obedience of Joseph, to the sorrow of Bethlehem, to the humility of Nazareth, we see a Saviour who identifies with suffering, exile, and weakness.

This passage challenges us to consider our own response to Christ: intrigue, intimidation, indifference — or worship. Above all, it reminds us that Jesus is the King who was rejected, yet through His death and resurrection brings deliverance, living hope, and the promise of eternal life.

We are the people of the resurrection — called to worship the King who leads us out of bondage and into glory.
