What does the birth of Jesus have to do with freedom?

In this message from Matthew 2:13–23, we see that Christmas is not only about a baby in a manger, but about God fulfilling His redemptive promises through Christ. Just as God once led Israel out of Egypt, the birth of Jesus inaugurates a new and better exodus—freedom from captivity to sin.

As we reflect on Christ’s first coming, we are strengthened to live in hopeful obedience as we await His return.
