Question
COME WORSHIP THE KING
Matthew 2:1-23
Key verse 2
- Who came to Jerusalem and why (1-2)? What does “the one born king of the Jews” tell us about Jesus? Why is it significant that they came to worship him?
- How did King Herod and all Jerusalem respond (3)? What did Herod look for, and what did he find out (4-5)?
- What kind of ruler was the Messiah prophesied to be (6)? How did Herod try to use the Magi (7-8)? How is Jesus’ kingship different from Herod’s?
- Why were the Magi so joyful to see the star and find Jesus (9-10)? What was the meaning of their gifts (11)? What do we learn from the Magi about Jesus?
- How did God protect Joseph’s family (13-23)? What Scriptures were fulfilled (15; 17-18; 23)? What does this show about Jesus?
