Matthew 2:13-23 ~ From the Bottom Up

Text: Matthew 3:13-23
Title: From the Bottom Up
Preacher: Rev. Greg Brower

Someone once said Christians claim God came as a baby because no one would be scared of a baby. The Biblical account begs to differ. Immediately, the rulers of the day felt threatened by Jesus and his family find themselves fleeing as refugees to Egypt. Herod driven by the fear of losing his power, uses that power to violently oppress his people. God, having all true power, sets it aside and chooses to stand with the poor and vulnerable of our world. The love of God leads to a setting aside power and instead lifting up and standing with the least of these.
