The Wise Men, The Fool, and Grace
Preached on Sunday, December 11, 2011 Listen to this week’s message below.
Message #3 of 5 – SERIES: The Coming of Jesus (According to Matthew)
– Jesus would have been a toddler at the time a group of “wise men” from the east showed up at his mother’s door to worship the boy born as King of the Jews. Their journey was costly and the gifts they brought were incredibly valuable. Herod the Great (appointed by Rome to rule in that region as “King of the Jews”) was troubled by their arrival when he learned that a threat to his throne had been born nearby. But Jesus’ mother, Mary, would have experienced their arrival as an incredible expression of God’s grace and steadfast love. (Matthew 2:1-12)
EXCERPT: God’s Confirming Grace to Mary
EXCERPT: God’s Confirming Grace to Mary – This clip from this week’s message explores the wise men’s visit from Mary’s point of view. It was likely a very confirming expression of God’s grace to her.
