Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0119A recorded on December 16, 1979 teaching from Matthew 2:1-23 – The Fulfillment of Prophecy.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens examines Matthew chapter 2, focusing on the fulfillment of prophecy surrounding Jesus’ birth. The narrative details the wise men’s journey, guided by a star, their visit to Herod, and their subsequent warning to avoid him. Herod’s subsequent massacre of the innocents is highlighted as a consequence of his fear and ambition, contrasting sharply with the humility and obedience of Jesus. Finally, Pastor Stevens emphasizes the uniqueness and divinity of Jesus, contrasting worldly interpretations with the core biblical message of salvation and the true path to God.
