Seeking the King (Matt. 2:1-6)
- God notified pagan astrologers about Jesus’ birth out of His desire to reach all nations.
- Herod’s paranoia caused him to remove any perceived challengers to his throne.
- The Jewish people knew biblical promises regarding the Messiah’s coming and yet they still missed Him.
Honoring the King (Matt. 2:7-12)
- When people hear of Jesus, they ignore Him, challenge Him, or worship Him.
- God can use both ordinary and extraordinary means to point people to Jesus.
- If Jesus is treasured as King and Lord, there should be no limit to our lavish offerings for Him.
Rejecting the King (Matt. 2:13-21)
- Jesus proves to be the fulfillment of Israel as Herod serves to continue the attacks of the Devil.
- Once Jesus becomes a threat to our personal authority, we seek to rid ourselves of His influence.
- There is only room for one king on the throne of your life, and you cannot experience peace until Jesus sits upon it.
