This excerpt from a sermon given at St. Francis Episcopal Church uses the story of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus fleeing to Egypt as a lens to explore God's ongoing work of setting right what is wrong and bringing light to darkness. The speaker draws a parallel between this New Testament narrative and the Old Testament story of the first Joseph being brought to Egypt through coercion, highlighting that in the new story, Joseph chooses to go, albeit under difficult circumstances. The sermon emphasizes that Jesus's incarnation and journey demonstrate God's willingness to enter into human suffering and darkness to bring healing and fulfillment of scripture, suggesting that God is weaving together all parts of our lives, even difficult or seemingly wasteful ones, into a larger, purposeful story. Ultimately, the message centers on the comfort that, through the Incarnation, God is with us, ensuring we are never alone as wrong things are made right and dark things become light.
