Three Responses to King Jesus

When King Jesus is born, everyone has to respond. In this sermon on Matthew 2:1–12, we look at three very different responses to the birth of Christ in the Christmas story.The wise men (Magi) travel 800 miles to worship the newborn King. Herod feels threatened and plots murder. The religious leaders know the Old Testament prophecy about the Messiah but won’t even walk six miles to Bethlehem. Same King. Three responses. Three very different trajectories.What you do with Jesus next writes the rest of your story.This is Week 2 of “Behold the King,” the first phase of a 14-week journey through the Gospels from Christmas to Easter exploring who Jesus is—King, Christ, and Lamb. This message is great for personal Bible study, small groups, or anyone wanting a deeper Bible teaching on Matthew 2.Scripture: Matthew 1:1–17; 2:1–12 (NLT)Series: Behold the King | Behold the Christ | Behold the Lamb🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you don’t miss a message!
