Rabbi Schneider: 本集讲述了贤士来访耶稣的场景，以及他们所献上的礼物的象征意义。贤士远道而来，并非因为耶稣的物质财富，而是因为他们认出了耶稣是真正的王。他们献上的黄金象征耶稣的王权，乳香象征耶稣的神性，没药预示耶稣未来的牺牲。这个故事提醒人们，真正的伟大不在于世俗的成功，而在于公义、谦卑和服务他人。贤士的故事也为圣诞节礼物的意义提供了新的视角，鼓励人们在圣诞节向耶稣献上敬拜和爱，礼物的意义在于背后的爱，而不是礼物本身的价值。 Rabbi Schneider还讲述了贤士来访后，他们对所见所闻的反应，以及他们逃离希律的行动。贤士们意识到他们见证了一个将改变世界的故事，一个关于爱、牺牲和救赎的故事。他们逃离希律，预示着耶稣未来的危险和挑战。 Rabbi Schneider在节目中穿插了祈祷，祈求上帝帮助人们检查自己的内心和优先级，使人们的愿望与上帝的国度和公义一致，并教导人们将时间、精力和资源投入到永恒重要的事情上，找到与上帝的关系的真正宝藏。
