#30 – Special Christmas Episode: The Tale Of Two Kings

Two kings? Weren't there three? Yes, you read that right. In this episode, we will talk about the two kings—not the three who gave the gifts to Joseph and Mary, but the two who are contrasted in the Christmas story. Let's talk about King Herod, and King Jesus.

Mon shares with us a brief background and history on Herod, and he reflects on the importance how the rule of Herod differs from the rule of Jesus. He talks about the difference between taking and receiving, and how that relates to giving. He also points out how parts of Herod's worldview still permeate our culture today. This then leads to the question: Which king do I serve today? Toward the end, he reads to us a passage from the Christmas story in Matthew and leads us into prayer.

This is Mon's last episode for 2021. He will be back on January!
