I preached this at one of our district youth rallies recently… just a simple thought:

Matthew 2:13
And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

Joseph smuggled the Christ into Egypt (the World) and thereby kept him alive, offering salvation to humanity.

1. A Dreamer (hearing from God)
2. Rise Up (owning the Great Commission)
3. Take the child (full of the Spirit)
4. Into Egypt (reaching the lost)

Synopsis:

We must be God Smugglers, bringing the Christ into a lost world so “that the world through  him might be saved.”
