Matthew 2:1-12

Listen to Matthew 2:1-12

Coming of the magi

1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in the territory of Judea during the rule of King Herod, magi came from the east to Jerusalem.
2 They asked, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We've seen his star in the east, and we've come to honor him."
3 When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and everyone in Jerusalem was troubled with him.
4 He gathered all the chief priests and the legal experts and asked them where the Christ was to be born.
5 They said, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for this is what the prophet wrote:
6 You, Bethlehem, land of Judah, by no means are you least among the rulers of Judah, because from you will come one who governs, who will shepherd my people Israel."
7 Then Herod secretly called for the magi and found out from them the time when the star had first appeared.
8 He sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search carefully for the child. When you've found him, report to me so that I too may go and honor him."
9 When they heard the king, they went; and look, the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the child was.
10 When they saw the star, they were filled with joy.
11 They entered the house and saw the child with Mary his mother. Falling to their knees, they honored him. Then they opened their treasure chests and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
12 Because they were warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went back to their own country by another route.

Christmas Series #6
Bill Luebkemann

Hello again and welcome to Hope from the Word. We're glad to have you with us today. Christmas was yesterday but we are going to continue with more teaching from Pastor Bill Luebkemann, centered around the Christmas message. Many of the movies we see have a villain and, in the case of the Christmas story, our villain is King Herod, a man so obsessed with his position as king that he ordered his own son murdered. Last time, we talked about the wise men and their trip to visit young Jesus. As we review the journey of the wise men today, we begin with their visit to Herod's palace as recorded in Matthew, chapter two.

Well can you believe it; it is Christmas Day! You may have heard someone say this recently, “What do you get the person who has everything?” Well, this definitely applied to the wise men that traveled to meet Jesus not long after His birth. But their question was more along the lines of, “What do you get the person who is God?” This is Hope from the Word with Pastor Bill Luebkemann of Calvary Chapel of Marlton. Join us, if you would, in Matthew, chapter two, as we take a closer look at these men called by God to bring presents to young Jesus.
