The Arrival Of The New King

The Arrival of The New King | Matthew 2: 1-12

How many of you know the Christmas song, "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"? Four times in that song it says, "Glory to the newborn King!" Here, Matthew tells us that news of the newborn King had brought wise men from the east. But the religious people were indifferent while King Herod was deeply troubled by news of this new born King! So how will we respond to this newborn King? In our passage, we'll see 3 responses to the newborn King:- 1) Those who are troubled by the new King. 2) Those who are against the new King. 3) Those who worship the true King.

The Purpose Of His Coming

The Purpose of His Coming | Matthew 1: 18-25

Do you know your family tree, family history? A few verses before this, we see the family tree of Jesus (in v. 1-17). The family tree of Jesus tells us that Christianity is not a myth or a legend, but rooted in history. Like many family histories, this family tree is filled with beauty, sin and brokenness. Yet, it had long been foretold that a root from that family tree would come and bear fruit (Isaiah 11: 1). So picking up in v. 18, we'll see afresh that: a) Jesus is God who became one of us. b) Jesus is God who came to save us. c) Jesus is God who came to be with us.

To answer that, we see in our passage: a) Jesus shows the meaning of His work. b) Jesus calls us to take up our cross. c) Jesus will return in glory to repay us.
