May all of you be as happy during the next 12 months as a baby with its first all day sucker. The central theme of Matthew la fe§uM Christ the King, the fulflller of the. Measianlc hope. In harmony with this preeminent theme, Matthew first deals with the all important question of Hie genealogy, for HI* right to oc cupy the throne of David must be es tablished. The royal covenant waa made to (H Sam. 7^-16, ct Acts 2 :30- 82). Yn harmony, with this, the first verse of. Matthew’s record constitutes a key to the book. I. The airti^of Jesus, the King (1:18- 25). L The Saviour was to be the seed of a woman (Gen. 3:15),.the eon of ft virgin (Is. 7:14). This waa fulfilled in the birth of Jeeot. The genealogy (Matt 1:1-17) shows Hlk legal right to the throne, hot something more la required In order to be the Saviour from tin. He moat be both hnmftB and divine (la 9:7). The Saviour gotten by the Holy Ghost end Sf the Virgin Mary, thus becoming Immanuel, which In Ita fullneea means, “God with ua God for ua end God In ua" II. Ths Childhood of Jaeua ths King (2:1-23). L Wise men from the East seeking tamers King (w. 1.2). The King’s reception was moot heartless. His own nation received Him not His advent waa heralded by ft star which guided men of a foreign nation to seek and worship Him. pour ing out their gifts to Him. Those men Persian or Arabian astrologers— of the stars Their attention was attracted by the appearance of an unusual star. Throoifr the Influ ence of the Jews who remained in Chaldea, or the direct influence of Deftlel extending to this time, they had bscom# acquainted with lerasTa hope as to the Messiah. . 2. Herod toe It lag to km the King (w. 3-8; 1*18). The news brooch! by the wise men struck terror to Herod’s heart. He waa not alone in this for all Jerusalem waa troubled with him. The nows eught to bsve brought joy. bat a gllmpoe at the social customs in and shoot Jerusalem of that day enables us to and erst and why this newt brought uneasiness to the people. They were living In the greatest luxury. Fin# dress sumptuous feasts fine bouses and other luxuries led to gross immoralities This la why Herod and Jerusalem were troubled. A Saviour who would save them from their sins waa not waited. Their desire waa to continue In them. Herod demanded of the priests and scribes Information as to where Christ should be born. The tact that they were this to tell him so promptly shows that they had a technical knowledge of the'Scriptures but not a heart for the Saviour set forth therein. We face similar condi tions today. This all occurred in Jerusalem, the city of the King, the place of all places where He should have been welcome. When the wise men returned to their country by an other way. Herod alew all the male children two years of age and under in Bethlehem and its coasts 3. The King found by the w ise men <vv. 9-12). The wise men having obtained the desired information, started immedi ately to find the King. As soon as they left.the city, the star as it guided them in the East, appeared again to lead them on. Not thaft JLt had diaappeared j from the sky, but the dwellings of the city no doubt shut out the sight of it' Frequently, spiritual vlslonls ob scured by the things of this world. C The King protected (vv. 13-23). (1) Flight to Egypt (vv. 13-15). To escape Herod’s wicked aim. God directed Joseph to take Mary and the child Jesus and flee to E&ypt In obedience to the heavenly vision, he went and remained there till Herod's death. (2) Return to Nazareth (vv. 19-23). Upon the death of Herod, the angel of the I^ord directed Joseph to take Jesus and His mother and go Into the land of Israel. By divine direction, he returned to Galilee and du'elt at Naz areth.
