Sermons About Magi
Three Witnesses & Three Reactions to the King (Matthew 2:1-12)
Matthew continues in His witness to the birth of the long awaited King of the Jews and sets the stage for the reaction of the world to Him: 1) Magi - Gentiles from the East, give witness by their searching for the King 2) Herod - pagan ruler of Jerusalem, gives witness by his fear of the King, and 3) the Jewish Leaders give witness by their acknowledging the Scriptures testimony to the King. All give testimony to the reality of a King born, to the Jews, in the Land of Bethlehem. They each also stand as a warning to us in the church and bear witnesses to the fact that no one is saved apart from faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

As intentional and heart felt the Magi’s homage may have been, they seemed to follow their own assumptions of what the Messiah ought to be. Using Isaiah 60 as their blueprint, the wise men ended up in Jerusalem, looking for a child who was not there.

Through the Eyes of the Magi
In our culture it has become glaringly obvious that Christmas is more about the "stuff" and less about the Son. How is it that so many people lose focus on what this holiday is all about? Maybe it's because in the hustle and the bustle of the season no one slows down enough to remember the story. Join us in December as we look at the greatest story ever told, through the eyes of the participants.
