n this sermon Pastor Wally looks at verses 1-12 of Matthew chapter 2. The scenes in this narrative text are filled with characters and responses that are similar to responses of people in our own time. Herod believed the prophets and despised Him. The scribes knew the ancient texts and were content with religion. The Magi pursued the foretold King and purposed they would worship Him. They recognized true greatness because God opened their eyes!
