Matthew 2:1 - 2:3
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg analyzes the second chapter of Matthew and the fulfillment of prophecy regarding the birth of Jesus. Gregg suggests that the expectations of the Jewish people regarding the arrival of their Messiah infected the Gentiles, leading to the ruling class of Gentile nations coming to worship Jesus, akin to the prophets. He further explains that the star that the wise men followed to Bethlehem could possibly have been an angelic being. Finally, Gregg notes that Herod, who was insecure on the throne and known for his murderous ways, was troubled by the news of Jesus' birth.
