Have you ever noticed how pressure reveals what’s really inside a person?
Put someone in a crisis… Put someone in a moment of decision… Put someone face-to-face with authority…
And the heart is exposed.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the Gospel of Matthew in which we enter a courtroom.
Not a courtroom of marble columns and wooden benches —
but a courtroom in Bethlehem.
The King has been born.
And now the witnesses step forward:
The Magi travel from the nations to worship.
Herod plots to destroy.
Jerusalem trembles.
And the religious leaders quote Scripture —
yet never move an inch toward Christ.
We’ve all heard it before…
It’s the Christmas story.
But this passage goes far beyond
a familiar wintertime scene.
It’s a revelation.
A revelation in which the King of Kings is revealed…
and the human heart is exposed.
Description: After the wise men from the far East met young Jesus, they went home a different way. It’s a bit of a play on words, but even today, when someone meets Jesus, they go home a different way.
