3 Vindications of Christ that build confidence (Matt. 2:13-23)
Matthew continues to show God's sovereign care and affirmation of the Sod of God incarnate, the Messiah, who will "save His people from their sins." Sovereign protection, human misery, and cultural identity all serve to further confirm the obedient Son, the acceptable sacrifice, and the true King of God's people.

Matters of Life and Death (Romans 8:10)
Death came as punishment for sin. But for the Christian, we are declared righteous in Christ, so death is no longer a punishment. Instead, we have the great hope of eternal life, with glorified bodies, in the presence of Jesus our Lord. This far surpasses the joy we taste in this life. In his wisdom, God has bound up death but has not destroyed it, so as Christians we will still taste physical death. But we can do so in faith that God is in complete control, and in hope of a far better life where all of God's promises are made complete.
