Matthew 2:13–23
Rev. Matt Koerber
Main Idea: Jesus is the savior in exile. He is the one God’s people were waiting for, but in his life experience he was marginalized.
Problem Condition: We experience the realities of suffering in a broken world and need a savior who can identify with us in our weakness.
