What Does Matthew 2:21 Mean?
As before, Joseph rises, takes the child and his mother, and returns into the land of Israel. His answer to God's word is the same quiet, immediate obedience that marked his flight.
A life of faith is woven of such steady obedience, repeated again and again. Joseph does not need new persuading each time; he simply does what God says. Through one faithful man's willingness to rise and go, the Lord brings his Son safely back to the land of promise.
