The Return to Nazareth: More Proof That Christ is King

Matthew 2:19-23

1.  The Obedient Return to Nazareth
2.  The Clear Fulfillment of Prophecy
.      A.  Foretold by ‘Prophets’ not a specific ‘prophet’
.      B.  Nazareth is a synonym for someone despised and rejected – a slur
.            1)  ‘Inferior’ racially, geographically, politically, economically, culturally, linguistically, religiously
.                     John 7:40, 50-52; John 1:45-46
.             2)  They will recognize the Messiah because He is going to be insulted, hated, derided, ridiculed 
.                      Psalm 22:1, 6-8, 16-18, Psalm 69:4, 8-9, 20-21; Isaiah 49:7, 50:6, 52:14, 53:2-3
