Episode 3 - Matthew 2:1-6 - A Star in the East and a Threat to Power
In this episode of Gospel at a Glance, we explore Matthew 2:1–6 and the visit of the Magi. What does their journey reveal about Jesus’ kingship? Why does Matthew emphasize Bethlehem and prophecy? And how does Herod’s fear foreshadow the conflict between earthly power and God’s purposes? Together, we’ll reflect on the meaning of these verses and how they connect to the larger story of God’s deliverance.
