Summary
Matthew 2 presents three responses to Jesus's birth: Herod's anger at losing control to a rival king, the religious leaders' apathy despite knowing Scripture, and the wise men's adoration marked by joy, humility, and generosity. The sermon challenges listeners to examine which response characterizes their relationship with Christ.
Highlights
If the God that you worship can never offend you or tell you you're wrong, you're not worshiping the real God, you're worshiping a figment of your imagination.
Your schedule and your budget show beyond a shadow of a doubt what you value in life. They just do.
God loves you so much, he wrote himself into the story, into a manger as a baby 2,000 years ago in Bethlehem. Why? So that you could be saved.
