Rabbi Schneider: 本集节目讲述了希律王的故事，以及希律王与耶稣这两种不同王权的对比。希律王残暴统治，为了巩固权力不择手段，甚至杀害自己的亲属；而耶稣的王权是永恒且不可动摇的，与世俗的统治者不同。希律王的反应揭示了嫉妒和恐惧的破坏性，而耶稣的诞生带来了希望，即使在最黑暗的环境中也能找到希望。三位智者的旅程展现了罗马帝国的残酷统治，以及耶稣诞生的意义。上帝的国度与世俗的国度不同，它建立在爱、怜悯和恩典之上。 叙述者: 本集节目讲述了耶稣诞生前后发生的故事，包括牧羊人报喜、三位智者朝拜等。牧羊人见到耶稣后充满喜乐，并向众人宣告弥赛亚的诞生。牧羊人的证言在一些人中重新燃起了希望。希律王手下的仆人听到弥赛亚诞生的消息后，内心充满恐惧和希望，但选择保持沉默。耶稣的诞生带来了希望，即使在最黑暗的环境中也能找到希望。 Rabbi Schneider: 希律王是一个狡猾、贪婪且残暴的统治者，他为了巩固自己的权力，不惜一切代价，甚至杀害自己的亲属。他的统治充满了背叛和暴力，建立在恐惧和压迫之上。而耶稣的诞生则标志着一个新时代的开始，一个被边缘化和压迫的人们能够找到避难所和尊严的时代。上帝的国度不是建立在权力和统治之上，而是建立在爱、怜悯和恩典之上。希律王的反应揭示了嫉妒和恐惧的破坏性，嫉妒会使人失去理智，做出残酷的行为。耶稣的王权是永恒且不可动摇的，与世俗的统治者不同。
