In this episode, Sam and Will continue their series through the Gospel of Matthew by walking through Matthew chapter 2. They explain who the wise men (Magi) were, why they were watching the sky, and what it meant to come worship the newborn King. You will also hear about Herod’s paranoia, the prophecy of Bethlehem (Micah), and how God guided events through dreams and the flight to Egypt. The conversation explores the meaning of the gifts (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) and shows how Matthew connects Jesus to the story of Israel and Moses. Take a moment to ask yourself which response you are living out, worship like the Magi, religious indifference like the scribes, or control like Herod, and bring that honestly to Jesus.
