‘Wise men trust God’ (Matthew 2:1-15)

Borrowing from the work of John Mackay, guest preacher and theological student, Daniel Hitchcock explored some significant references in the Bible concerning stars, the magi mentioned in Matthew 2:1-15, and how these point to God as Creator and Saviour.

Message

Outline

Matthew 2:1-12. How did the magi know?

Numbers 24:17. A gentle prophecy.

Genesis 1:14-19; Jeremiah 33:25-26. From creation to Christ. Kepler’s best guess.

Acts 7:41-43. Israel’s star worship, magi’s education.

Matthew 2:15; Hosea 11:1; Deuteronomy 18. A prophet like Moses.

Isaiah 60:1-3; Psalm 72. Can you trust the God who arranged all these events?
