Matthew 1-2 As recorded so it happened

Matthew records the events that led up to the birth of Christ and in that he wrote using the OT as his source. Isaiah’s words are the balm of Gilead to a sin sick world. In addition, Matthew wrote: This all happened so that what was spoken by the Lord through the prophet would be fulfilled. That prophet was Isaiah along with other prophets of old and is proof that this Word is true. It is given that we might believe and be transformed. This is not just a story we recount for Advent but it is the truth of God that we might know God’s Word is true and complete. 

How has this account transformed you? Will you choose to believe and then share this truth with others?
