Matthew 2:1-12

Listen to Matthew 2:1-12

1 And Jesus having been born in Beth-Lehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king, lo, mages from the east came to Jerusalem,

2 saying, `Where is he who was born king of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and we came to bow to him.'

3 And Herod the king having heard, was stirred, and all Jerusalem with him,

4 and having gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he was inquiring from them where the Christ is born.

5 And they said to him, `In Beth-Lehem of Judea, for thus it hath been written through the prophet,

6 And thou, Beth-Lehem, the land of Judah, thou art by no means the least among the leaders of Judah, for out of thee shall come one leading, who shall feed My people Israel.'

7 Then Herod, privately having called the mages, did inquire exactly from them the time of the appearing star,

8 and having sent them to Beth-Lehem, he said, `Having gone -- inquire ye exactly for the child, and whenever ye may have found, bring me back word, that I also having come may bow to him.'

9 And they, having heard the king, departed, and lo, the star, that they did see in the east, did go before them, till, having come, it stood over where the child was.

10 And having seen the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy,

11 and having come to the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and having fallen down they bowed to him, and having opened their treasures, they presented to him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh,

12 and having been divinely warned in a dream not to turn back unto Herod, through another way they withdrew to their own region.

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.

Christmas Series #5

Bill Luebkemann

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.
