Matthew 2

A Festival of 9 Lessons and Carols – Wise Men…

A Festival of 9 Lessons & Carols The Lord's Day Morning December 25, 2005 Matthew 2:1-12 “Wise Men From the East” Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew, chapter two, as we come to the eighth of nine studies in the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols that we've been looking at all December long. Let me just remind you before we read chapter two, the first twelve verses, of the Gospel of Matthew, of what Matthew has told us in chapter one. Matthew starts his Gospel in a way that all Southerners will recognize, with a genealogy, and he does that for a number of reasons–just two in particular I want to draw to your attention. He's not only a descendant of kings, He's a descendant of the king, King David. This…

Nine Lessons and Carols- Born by the Book

The Lord's Day Morning December 30, 2007 Matthew 2:1-12 Nine Lessons and Carols The Eighth Lesson Born by the Book Dr. J. Ligon Duncan III Amen. If you have your Bibles, I'd invite you to turn with me to Matthew 2:1-12. We are working our way through the “Nine Lessons and Carols” of the King's College Christmas Service. We are at the Eighth Lesson today, which deals with the coming of the wise men to worship Jesus. His birth has been some time before, and they have now made their way a far distance from the East to seek out this new king of the Jews. And Matthew records the story here. You may have heard that the Archbishop of Canterbury got himself in a bit of trouble before Christmas by granting an interview to a newspaper editor who was asking questions about this…

Jesus born in Bethlehem: According to Scripture

Matthew 2:1-12 Jesus born in Bethlehem: According to Scripture Would you please turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew chapter 2. As we continue our study in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Last week we concentrated on the circumstances of Jesus’ birth and the nature of our Savior. Some of the things that Matthew teaches us about who He is. His virgin birth sets forth His divinity and His perfect humanity. His name Immanuel reminds us of the mystery of the incarnation. His very given name, Jesus, the one who saves, reminds us that He has come to save us from sin, save us for holiness. This week we begin in chapter 2, which sets forth the worship of that Christ. Let’s hear the word of the living God. Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days…

Flight, Murder, and Return From Egypt

Please turn with me in your Bibles to Matthew chapter 2. As we have opened this glorious gospel in the last few weeks, we have seen Matthew in the genealogy tell us of the origins of our Savior and the recounting of the story of His virgin birth. He has witnessed to the divinity of our Savior and His almighty and all sufficient saving power. And in the first part of this passage itself, we have seen much in terms of spiritual truth. We saw in the coming of the Gentiles those Magi who came to…
