The Gospel of Matthew speaks of the conception of Jesus in a Kingly way. Throughout the Book of Matthew, the Kingly office of Christ is brought forth. MAT 1:22-23 says, "Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."

Matthew speaks of the conception of Jesus in the womb of Mary as the Messiah. It is pointing to His Kingly office.

The Book of Matthew in its beginning teaches the Kingly office of Christ. This gospel starts with the wise men coming from the East, which points to the Kingship of Christ. MAT 2:1-2a says, "Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews?" Matthew was focusing on the Kingship of Christ. This is why the Bible has four gospels; each focuses on a different theme. The Kingly office of Christ is not reflected by the other three gospels.

Now watch what that verse says. "...Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him," MAT 2:2. They went to worship the King of the Jews. This is what brought the slaughter of all the children of Bethlehem under two years old. Herod became concerned for his kingdom because he thought Jesus was a threat to his throne. It was the Kingship of Christ that was being presented.

What do we find in MAT 2:11? "And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him...." They worshiped Him as King and as the Messiah. They saw Him as the King of kings, and Lord of lords; they saw that Kingship of Christ. It goes on to say, "...and [they] fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh."

The gold, frankincense, and myrrh were kingly gifts. They were not the gifts that were given to poor people. They were not the gifts that were brought to somebody who couldn’t even afford a room in the inn and who had their child born in a manger. The Kingly office of Christ is being recognized here.
