    As we look at Matthew 2 and the people known as the Magi, three phrases caught my attention this year as I was reading the Christmas story. "King of the Jews" "Overjoyed" "Presented Him with Gifts"

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. 28 "You heard me say, 'I am going away and I am coming back to you.' If you loved me, you would be glad ...read more
