Sermon Video: Advent Witnesses Part 6 - Magi: Unexpected Guests, Matthew 2:1-12

 

The final witnesses to the Advent arrive somewhat late, but given how far they had to come, that's understandable.  Matthew tells of that the arrival of Jesus included an astronomical sign, one read by the gentile Magi who come to offer the new king homage.  Their acceptance of this new king is contrasted strongly with the plotting of the old one, Herod, an offers a reminder that closed hearts do not accept the facts as they are.
