Worship with Senior Living

Matthew 2:1–2 ESV

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

Question:

How is it possible

people from far

come to worship

not locals???

Jews ->>> messiah

Dan 9 -> gives timing

supernatural star

knew city

Matthew 2:3–5 ESV

When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet:

Nobody

Chief Priest

Priest

Levite

Scribes

elders

didn’t go there

Why?

Didn't believe????

They did!!!

Why?

Distracted!

False ideas of coming.

How were wise men ready?

They were looking!

So today

second coming

want to be ready

must be looking.

Jews were

distracted

false ideas of coming.

Wise men from east

were looking.

Appeal

Don’t be distracted

Don't misunderstand coming

Keep looking for coming.
