Exodus Part 11: Exodus Out of Context?

Matthew 2:13-21

Exodus 4:18-23

Today we take a different approach. The Gospel of Matthew quotes from this passage of Exodus and several other Old Testament passages. The problem is that Matthew seems to take those passages out of context. We examine Matthew’s use of the Old Testament to try and work through how the New Testament writers use the Old Testament and what application that can have for us today.
