As we near the day designated to celebrate the birth of the Messiah we have gone through a journey of anticipating the king, preparing for the king, waiting for the king, and now being in the presence of the king. How do we respond when God makes God's self known? Do we respond in fear or shame? How about defiance or rebellion? Or maybe worship and obedience? God/the King deserves reverence and honor. Matt 2:1-18 | Luke 2:
