Migrant Journeys: Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Matthew 2:13-23; Hebrews 2:17; Matthew 25:35-36, 40
Pastor Hannah concludes our Migrant Journeys series by inviting us to sit with Jesus' story of fleeing to another country due to violence and hatred. Christ was a refugee. Through Matthew 2, we follow Mary, Joseph, and Jesus as they flee Herod's threats of violence, placing their story alongside the stories of migrants today. Together, they reveal a Savior who doesn't remain distant from suffering but enters into it himself. If Jesus identifies with the stranger, how should his people respond? Pastor Hannah casts a vision for lives marked by courageous compassion rather than fear, inviting us to see the image of God in our fellow neighbors and to prayerfully discern our next faithful step toward embodying Christ's love, mercy and justice in our right here, right now life.
