Our Advent series this year is in Matthew 2, where we meet an enraged King Herod, Bible-smart Jewish scholars, and wise men from the east who bring baby Jesus three symbolic gifts: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. In this episode we ponder the many echoes this story would have had for Matthew's 1st century audience, including several strong hints that this child is the long-awaited New Moses.
