Monday Club Sermons Matthew 2:13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise… I. CHILDHOOD IS EXPOSED TO IMMINENT DANGERS. "Herod sought the young child's life." Evil is never so active or persistent as when it seeks the ruin of the young. II. ON WHAT CONDITIONS THE SAFETY OF CHILDHOOD DEPENDS. 1. The first of these is parental love. See the love and fidelity of Joseph and Mary. Nothing more natural than that parental love should seek at any cost the safety of a child. 2. Parental love wisely directed. The parents of Jesus did not trust to their own wisdom. 3. The Divine direction given to parents respecting their children is to be followed in obedience and faith. Joseph and Mary obeyed the will of God. (Monday Club Sermons.)
