After Jesus' birth, there are three different types of responses towards what God has done. The first comes from King Herod, who was very cynical and, determined to keep his power, tried to destroy Jesus. The scribes and priests were very apathetic to Jesus' birth. Lastly, the wise men were spiritually interested and wanted to know about Jesus. The attitude of the wise man is the reaction God desires from all people, so they can find the truth and place their faith in Jesus Christ for forgiveness. Parallels between Pharoah during Moses' time and Herod when Jesus was born are also explored.
