What does it say?
The wise men followed the star and worshiped Jesus in Bethlehem. Joseph, Mary, and Jesus fled to Egypt but later returned to live in Nazareth.
What does it mean?
The birth of Jesus brought hope for mankind but also ignited extreme opposition. Herod felt so threatened by the news of a prophesied king’s birth that he issued a decree to kill any child born around the time the star appeared. But not even Herod had the power to stop the Lord from intervening. God honored the astronomers’ desire to find and worship the Messiah they read about in Scripture. God’s warnings then led Joseph and Mary, as well as the wise men, to change their plans, protecting each of them. The Savior’s life was preserved as a result of God’s guidance and their obedience.
How should I respond?
You might think it would be easier to follow the Lord if He sent an angel to tell you exactly what to do in a difficult situation. God still guides and protects us through biblical warnings, commands, and principles. God will give direction as you search the Bible for wisdom and truth in similar situations. Will you make the Word of God your primary resource for decision-making? Listen for repeated impressions from the Spirit, then respond quickly when God intervenes with guidance. God desires to guide you into His plan for your life, but you must be willing to trust Him completely.

Matthew’s Gospel opens the New Testament by brilliantly introducing the culmination of the entire Old Testament story. After thousands of years and dozens of generations, Jesus had come “to save his people from their sins” (Mathew 1:21). Matthew focuses on Jesus as King of Kings, who had come to reign on the throne of David forever.
