Scripture: Luke 2:8-20; Mt. 2:1-12<\/span><\/h2>\r\n

I.\u00a0\u00a0 SURPRISED AND HUNGRY<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

The leader of the Roman world was Caesar Augustus. Augustus meant (of the gods<\/strong><\/span>) or
the (holy and revered one<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\r\n

Christmas reminds us that what is important in heaven is often (unimportant<\/strong><\/span>) on earth.<\/p>\r\n

Three thoughts to wrap up their reaction:<\/p>\r\n

              II.\u00a0 SURPRISED AND HUMBLED<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

              Verse 3 tells us Herod was deeply disturbed, as was everyone else. Why? Because Herod was a
              (ruthless killer<\/strong><\/span>) when angry.<\/p>\r\n

              A distinct difference between these wise men and Herod. The wise men (searched<\/strong><\/span>); Herod was
              (hostile<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\r\n

              Scholars have said the gifts were important. Gold fit for a (king<\/strong><\/span>); frankincense for (worship<\/strong><\/span>); and
              myrrh for a (burial<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\r\n

              Christmas is all about (worship<\/strong><\/span>). How is it seen in the players of this story?<\/p>\r\n
