Musing Through Matthew-Why Galilee?

Let us muse again today from Matthew 2:21-22 and the theme of Jesus the King. In our text today we learn to ask the question why Galilee? Joseph arose after being warned by an angel to leave Egypt. He was latter  warned in a dream to turn aside to Galilee of which he obeyed. Oh how sensitive Joseph was to the divine impressions by God. Galilee at the time was being ruled by Philip a mild-mannered man. It was a despised country filled with common folks. Is it not just like a Father to have His Son to first go among the plain folks. Lord turn aside once again to the Galilee’s of this world and do a work among the common folks. Send the Rain, send the Fire, and send the Holy Ghost even right now.
