Questions for reflection on Matthew 2:13-23:
- Was Joseph a random father for Jesus or was he chosen to be Jesus' father (or step-father) for a reason?
- What do you think of Jesus being placed in such dangerous circumstances?
- Jesus became a refuge shortly after being born. What do you think is the purpose behind that?
