📖 Kingdom Come Bible Study | Episode 3

Who were the Magi, and what does their journey teach us about true worship? In Kingdom Come Episode 3, we unpack Matthew 2:1–12 and explore how God revealed His Son not to the religious elite, but to foreign seekers—pointing us to a kingdom that defies expectations.

This episode challenges us to ask: Are we truly seeking Jesus, or are we resisting Him like Herod? The Magi’s pursuit of the King stands in stark contrast to Herod’s fear-driven opposition. Their worship calls us to examine our own response to Christ today.

Key Themes

✅ The Magi—unexpected worshipers from distant lands
✅ King Herod vs. King Jesus—two opposing kingdoms
✅ Worship isn’t just a song—it’s surrender and obedience
✅ The gifts of the Magi—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—what they reveal about Jesus

Join us as we uncover the historical, prophetic, and personal significance of this passage and learn how to live as true worshipers of the King.


Herod vs. Jesus: A Tale of Two Kings

🔹 Herod—A puppet king, obsessed with control, willing to destroy anyone who threatens his rule.
🔹 Jesus—The true King, humbly born in Bethlehem, whose power is rooted in servanthood, not domination.

This battle isn’t just history—it’s personal. Are we clinging to control like Herod, or are we bowing in worship like the Magi?


The Gifts of the Magi: Their Prophetic Meaning

💛 Gold—Jesus is the King of Kings
🔥 Frankincense—Jesus is God in the flesh, worthy of worship
🖤 Myrrh—Jesus was born to die, securing our salvation

These gifts weren’t random—they foreshadowed Christ’s mission and fulfilled Old Testament prophecy.

📖 Key Verse: “And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.” – Matthew 2:11 (ESV)
