A NOTE from San Diego First Church of the Nazarene in Point Loma
Our Mission: To Lift Up Christ
Sunday, January 3, 2016
9:00 Classic Service in the Ellipse Chapel
10:30 New Celebration Service in the Family Life Center
“DISCOVERY”
Text: Matthew 2:4/Luke 4:21
Matthew 2:4 He called together all the head cohanim and Torah-teachers of the people and asked them, “Where will the Messiah be born?”
Luke 4:21 He started to speak to them: “Today, as you heard it read, this passage of the Tanakh was fulfilled!”
John Wesley's Notes-Commentary for Matthew 2:4
[4] And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
The chief priests — That is, not only the high priest and his deputy, with those who formerly had borne that office: but also the chief man in each of those twenty-four courses, into which the body of priests were divided, 1 Chronicles 24:6-19. The scribes were those whose peculiar business it was to explain the Scriptures to the people. They were the public preachers, or expounders of the law of Moses. Whence the chief of them were called doctors of the law.
Luke 4:21
Verse 21
[21] Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
Let them that are in the midst of it — Where Jerusalem stands (that is, they that are in Jerusalem) depart out of it, before their retreat is cut off by the uniting of the forces near the city, and let not them that are in the adjacent countries by any means enter into it.
Speaker: Pastor Selden Dee Kelley, III
