The Lord Jesus is the Saviour of the world. It is therefore fitting that at the time of his birth representatives from the nations should travel from their homes to greet him.
The Lord Jesus is kept safe from Herod even though the reason he became incarnate was in order that he might die for sinners. However, before he could die to pay for our sins, he first had to live a life of perfect obedience so that we might receive, by faith in him, his righteousness. Until such time his life was kept safe.
