A King Like No Other

We trace the Magi’s gifts—frankincense, myrrh, and gold—to their deeper meaning and land on the claim that changes everything: Jesus isn’t a symbolic figurehead but a King like no other, who chose humility over hype and compassion over control.

We get honest about expectations. People wanted a palace-born ruler; they got a child in a cave who grew up to touch lepers, welcome outcasts, and overturn the tables we keep polishing. From there, we map three timeless responses: Herod opposed Him to protect his throne, the priests dismissed Him with tidy theology, and the Magi traveled far to bow low. That pattern still fits our lives. Control, apathy, or worship—one of them is shaping our choices, our peace, and our future.
