Matthew 2:1 - 12

How do you respond to the Boss visiting?

How did people respond to Jesus when He arrived in our world?

vs 1, 2
Some people recognised Him.
- The Magi
- Following the star

vs 3 - 8
Some where troubled.
- the religious leaders
-Herod
Heading to Bethlehem
Red Flags - What were Herod's intentions? Why meet the Magi secretly?
e.g. older siblings being jelous of newly born younger siblings.
Many people are still troubled today.

Exposes us for who we really are
- Self seeking
- Jelous
- Sinful

The incredible extent to which God went to save us.
- Sending His Son to die for us so that we would be cleansed of sin.

Some people joyfully worshiped Him.
The Magi rejoiced at the sight of the star. More so when they met the baby Jesus
