Suffering can feel random, even cruel — like evil is winning. But Matthew 2:13–23 shows us that even in suffering, God is not absent. From Joseph’s flight to Egypt, to the weeping of Bethlehem’s mothers, to the quiet return to Nazareth, every step of Jesus’ early life was guided by God’s sovereign hand.

In this message, Pastor Nathan unpacks how Jesus is the true Son who fulfills Israel’s story, why God preserved Him as an infant, and how this passage helps us trust God when life feels out of control. You’ll learn how to lament honestly, find hope in God’s promises, and respond with trust and obedience — even when the way forward seems uncertain.
