Matthew 2:1–11 contrasts knowledge without love with faith-filled worship through the responses to Christ’s birth. While King Herod and the Jewish religious leaders possessed accurate scriptural knowledge about the Messiah, they responded with fear, indifference, or hostility, revealing hearts unchanged by truth. In contrast, the Magi, guided by God’s light, traveled far in joyful obedience to worship Jesus, rejoicing even before seeing Him. Their response shows that true worship flows from humble submission, loving obedience, and surrender, not merely information. The sermon challenges believers to grow in both knowledge and love, to find strength and joy in Christ, and to follow the light of God’s Word daily, offering their lives as worship to Him.
