In Matthew 2:1-12, the wise men travel to find and worship the newborn king, but King Herod seeks to destroy the child. Mr. Martijn Heijboer preaches that Gentiles seek the King, Jerusalem fears the King, the usurper examines the King, God declares the King, and the usurper plots against the King.
“Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
