“and he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.”
Matthew 2:23 KJV
Joseph was given a dream to return from Egypt and settle down in Nazareth. So he settled his family in the village of Nazareth, fulfilling the prophecy that Jesus would be known as the “Branch.” The Branch of the Lord would come and establish righteousness. This Branch is taught throughout the Scriptures, from the Tree of Life to the seven branches of the Lampstand, to Jesus the Vine calling us His branches. Jesus is the Scion that can be transplanted and grafted into human life. Jesus is the Branch Who was raised in the village of the Branch which means Nazareth. He is the Victorious Branch of Nazareth, worthy of all our praise. Amen!
