“Freedom and Restoration
from Sin in Christ”
Pastor Joey Anjiki

1. The nature of sin as seen in King Herod
* Matthew 2:3 “disturbed”
* Matthew 2:8 “He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” (NIV)
* Matthew 2:16 (See above)
* The nature of sin as seen in Herod
* What occurred at the Dachau concentration cam
2. The family's escape to Egypt: Liberation from sin
* Matthew 2:15 (See above) *Quoted from Hosea 11:1
* The “Egypt” that the prophet refers to = “a general term for persecutors”
* Here Egypt represents “Herod and the devil working behind the scenes”
* Our Exodus from Egypt
3. Restoration from sin as seen in the events surrounding Ramah
* Matthew 2:17-18 (See above)
* The meaning of Matthew’s quote: This sorrow became the prelude to hope
* Romans 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who[a] have been called according to his purpose.’” (NIV)

Thoughts to share at mini church:
1. Do we too have Herod’s nature?
2. Have you ever experienced your sinful nature being changed?
3. Have you ever experienced something negative in your life being turned into something positive?
