About this listen
In this message from Matthew 2:1–12, Alex explores the visit of the wise men and what their journey reveals about true worship. These scholarly men were intrigued by a star, but it was Scripture that led them to Christ. In contrast to Herod’s intimidation and the religious leaders’ indifference, the wise men came with one clear purpose: to worship the King.
Alex reminds us that Bethlehem, the “house of bread,” points to Jesus as the Bread of Life, and that the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh reveal Christ’s kingship, deity, and mission to die for sinners. The challenge for us today is simple but searching: do we come to church as consumers, critics, or worshippers? Like the wise men, may our inquiry lead us not to pride, but to surrender—bringing our time, talents, treasure, and hearts before the King of Kings.
