The Early Years: The Flight to Egypt

The third event the Bible records from Jesus' early years is the
most dramatic and shocking so far: Herod, desperate to maintain his
power, goes to great lengths to try and kill the infant Jesus. The
holy family narrowly escapes tragedy by taking refuge in Egypt. We
considered the significance of the fact that God became a refugee.
We also considered what it means for Jesus' life to "fulfill" the
Scriptures, even when the Scriptures being referenced don't seem to
have anything to do with predictions of the future.
