Matthew's Nativity (with Chris Green)

Alastair's Adversaria

CHAPTER

The Story of Herod and the Magi

In Matthew he just keeps drawing our attention to the ways in which the outsider is the first to see what God is doing inside right. The Magi are front and center there right they're the ones who understand Israel's story best even though they are marginal or even external to it. So Herod even though he's the king of the Jews he's not a faithful king you know he's an outsider who's taken a place inside in a way that's unfaithful but we have outsiders who are faithful and and room is made for them in what god is doing i think that's at least a place to begin with why Matthew draws our attention to them.
