Commentary on Matthew 2:12
God's warning to the magi in a dream demonstrates His sovereign protection of His Son and His ability to communicate directly with seeking hearts, even among Gentiles. The magi's obedience to God's revelation over Herod's command shows proper priorities: obeying God rather than men (Acts 5:29). Their silent departure thwarted Herod's scheme, showing how God uses ordinary human obedience to accomplish His purposes.
