JESUS WAS TAKEN to EGYPT
Hosea 11 :1 (Old Testament Prophecy)

Eternal One: When Israel was a child, I loved him; and out of Egypt I called My son. (Fulfilled in Jesus) Matthew 2:14-15

So Joseph got up in the middle of the night; he bundled up Mary and Jesus, and they left for Egypt. Joseph, Mary, and Je­sus stayed in Egypt until Herod died. This fulfilled yet another prophecy. The prophet Hosea once wrote, "Out of Egypt I called My Son."

God twice called His children out of Egypt: first Israel's descen­dants, God's chosen people,
and then Jesus, who made every­one—Jews and Gentiles—into God's people.

Father, strengthen my faith by seeing that, long before Mary and Joseph had to take Jesus into Egypt to escape the wrath of King Herod, You knew it would happen. Oh, how You know every mo­ ment of my life. Help me to comprehend the enormous love You have for me, and may that alone be all the sustenance I need!
