Revealed Beyond Expectations | Epiphany Sermon on Matthew 2:1–12

In the season of Epiphany, we slow down to watch how Jesus is revealed to us. In Matthew 2:1–12, foreign wise men seek and worship the Christ child, while King Herod responds with fear and resistance. This contrast reveals the kind of King Jesus is and the wideness of God’s mercy.This sermon invites listeners to notice how Jesus reveals who God is and who we are called to be. Sometimes that revelation comforts us. Sometimes it unsettles us. Always it comes in love.This message begins a sermon series called Revealing the Real Jesus, where we pay attention to what becomes clearer as we watch Jesus together.Epiphany sermonMatthew 2 sermonWise men and HerodRevealing the real JesusJesus revealedChristian sermonLutheran sermonEpiphany seasonKing JesusWideness of God’s mercyOutsiders and the gospelJesus and the MagiBiblical preachingChristian faith reflectionKeywords / Tags
