—Matthew 4:12-17

The director of a play relies on every actor following the script precisely. If actors do their own thing, the entire play is thrown off track. Jesus was a master at sticking to the script, even with what appeared to be the inconsequential decisions. Jesus left Nazareth and settled in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. Why are these details important? It fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy (Isaiah 9:1-2). Jesus fulfilling each prophecy re-assures us that God’s plan for humanity stayed on track. As believers, we cannot afford to ad-lib our way through life. The Bible is our roadmap, the Holy Spirit is our GPS. Stick to the script!
