The Magi Bring Worship AND Horror

Mission Focused Men for Christ

Episode Summary. Our culture is shaped by the interaction of various worldviews that compete for the influence to shape thinking. Ten days ago in the halls of Congress many of us saw the moral bankruptcy of a worldview that is held by many of the cultural elites, when the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn would not say that the conduct code of their universities prevents students from calling for the extermination of the Jews. The worldview that has replaced the conscience of these elites is called critical theory. Christians have something far, far better to offer the world. It is an accurate lens to explain what is happening in the world. This episode examines this biblical worldview through which to view society. We do that by examining the Christmas story of the Magi.

For Further Prayerful Thought:

1. How does John’s worldview lens of 2 categories of people, those who hate the light and those who come to the light correspond to reality as you have experienced it?
2. What truths stood out to you about Matthew’s inclusion of the story of the magi in his gospel? Why do you think it is so rare today to find a group so “driven” to want to worship Jesus?
3. What do you most want to remember about the dark side of Christmas?
