Matthew 2:1-21 - "The King Has Come."

from Rooted in God’s Word · host Pastor Erik Lydick

This week’s message is “The King Has Come,” as we look at Matthew 2:1–2, 9–11 and celebrate Epiphany Sunday.We walk with the Magi from the east as they follow the star, arrive in Jerusalem asking, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?”, and are finally led to the true King—not in a palace, but in a house with His mother Mary.In this episode we unpack:• Why Epiphany is about Jesus being revealed to the nations, not just Israel• How Herod and all Jerusalem were “troubled” by the news of a rightful King• How God guided Gentile seekers by a star, Scripture, and dreams• What true worship looks like as the Magi fall on their faces and offer gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrhEpiphany doesn’t make Jesus King; it makes His kingship visible. The King has come. He is revealed as Son of David, Savior of the world, and worthy of our worship.Listen in, share with a friend, and let your heart be drawn again to bow before the King who cannot be threatened, displaced, or stopped.#RootedInTheWordOfGod #TheKingHasCome #EpiphanySunday #Matthew2 #Magi #KingOfTheJews #LightToTheNations #JesusIsLord #WorthyOfWorship #BibleTeaching #ChristianPodcast #Hightstown #FaithInAction
