Matthew 2:1-12

The Magi – Who were they and from where did they come?

Numbers 24:17 – A Star shall come out of Jacob;
A Scepter shall rise out of Israel,

The Star

Two Kings

3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

King Herod – Who Was He?

Why was he so troubled?

King Jesus

2:10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. 11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him.

Notice 3 things:

1. Worship Requires Humility

James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

Micah 6:8 And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?

2. Worship Requires the Right God

3. Worship requires sacrifice

11 ….And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

The Gifts

Gold

Frankincense

Myrrh

Isaiah 53:5 (NIV): “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed”.

Wise people still seek Him

Wise people still worship Him

Revelation 19:11 (NLT)

Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. 12 His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. 13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. 15 From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress.16 On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.

This Jesus is:

King of Kings and Lord of Lords !!!!

And this King – And ONLY this King shall reign forevermore!!!

So let’s do the wise thing – seek Him, bow before Him and worship Him will all our hearts!!!
