Matthew 2

JESUS, JESUS, JESUS, Oh what a savior. Even though Satan tried to have him killed as a baby he is still alive today and will be forevermore.  The wise men start worshiping the King in the second verse, when he is just a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, we are still worshiping him today, and we will worship him for all eternity.

I am awed when I think of the love that our King had for us, how he left all the greatness of heaven to come to this sinful world for us.

Not only that he would come to his own people, but he came to Bethlehem of Judah, the least among the princes of Judah. (v6) He did not come with all the splendor and glory that was due him.  He was not just another baby, but the savior of all mankind, the almighty in flesh, our redeemer,  our healer, our righteousness, our way maker, ect.ect.!

I can only imagine how all the angels of heaven reacted that day, to look on the face of one that would not only be innocent at birth, but would be innocent forever.

In (v17) & (v23) we see two prophecies about him being fulfilled also.
