Matthew 2:1-10

This isn't about stars and kings

and Christmas gifts.

This is about the Kingdom of God,

and

Matthew is showing us

that outsiders,

pagans,

who are paying attention,

recognize that the Kingdom of God

is being manifested on earth,

and those who are supposed to know

miss it.

He is pointing out what Jesus would say later on:

beware the leaven of the Pharisees and Herod.

Politics is not the Kingdom,

and neither is religion.

The Kingdom is about food.

It is about being fed by the good Shepherd,

and he is bringing bread for the life of the world.

He is bread

for the life of the world.
