The return to Nazareth

Matthew 2:19-23

It's gotta feel good to have God come to you in a dream and say, "Hey, the people who were trying to kill you are dead. I killed 'em. Get up and go home."

I'd be like, "Wow... that's awesome, God. Thanks."

In yet another dream, God told Joseph to go to a different town than the one Mary and he lived in before escaping to Egypt. So Joseph goes there.

Meanwhile, Mary's not having any of these dreams--she's just trusting that her husband has:
1. really been having the dreams, and
2. really been having God visit Him in His dreams and not some bad anchovies from last night's pizza.

A lot of trust going on here with the parents of Jesus.

Lord, give us trust in place of our disbelief. Thank you, Father. Thank you.
