The Truth in Christmas: Worship
Matthew 2:1-12
1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,
during the time of King Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to
Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of
the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4
When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the
law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 “In Bethlehem
in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written: 6
“‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the
rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will shepherd my people
Israel.’[b]” 7 Then Herod
called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had
appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search
carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too
may go and worship him.” 9 After they had heard the king, they went
on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until
it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the
star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the
child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they
opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod,
they returned to their country by another route.
