First the Savor, Then the Sending

Matthew begins Jesus’ story with a genealogy, which in the ancient world is a key strategy for documenting one’s claim to honor.
The Gospel story specifically recalls the days when, without any previous teaching from the prophets or instruction in the law, three men came from the far east in search of God.

Reginald H. Fuller
In the revelation of God in Christ, the light has indeed shone in the darkness, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon the world.
