III. Difference between the Child Jesus and the Herod in their homeland

Gabriel said: 1. Jesus would save his people from their sins. 2. A virgin would be with a son and his name

would be called Immanuel, which means GOD WITH US.

The wise men: 1. He would be king of the Jews. 2. They would come to worship him.

3. They would present the gifts to the child Jesus.

The angels: Good news to the shepherds and they were told that they would find the child Jesus’s clothes ` in a bed of hay.

The shepherds: They witnessed and praised God.

The Herod He was worried and unhappy about

the child born to be king of the Jews. He secretly called and asked the

wise men to bring the child. He planned to pretend to worship

the child before he would kill him. He became very angry and ordered

for the killing of the 2-year children in Bethlehem.

As a result, he died.
