Narrator: 本集讲述了希律王因害怕新王的诞生而下令杀害伯利恒所有两岁以下男婴的故事。希律王的残暴行径源于他的骄傲和恐惧，他试图通过杀害婴儿来巩固自己的权力。这个故事展现了人性的黑暗面，以及权力对人心的腐蚀。希律王的暴行与法老杀害希伯来男婴的故事形成对比，突出了上帝的救赎计划即使在最黑暗的时刻也在进行。 Narrator: 希律王的士兵在执行命令的过程中也面临着道德困境，他们内心充满了挣扎和痛苦。一些士兵在执行命令后精神崩溃，另一些士兵则麻木不仁地继续执行命令。这个故事也展现了战争的残酷和人性的复杂性。 Narrator: 这个故事中，母亲们对孩子的爱和父亲们对家庭的保护，与希律王的残暴形成鲜明对比，突显了人性的光辉和对生命的珍视。希律王的暴行最终未能阻止上帝的计划，耶稣的诞生仍然照亮了世界。 Rabbi Schneider: 本集故事并非以喜乐结尾，而是上帝清除邪恶的开端。希律杀害伯利恒男婴的故事，展现了人性的黑暗和上帝救赎计划的深刻真理。面对艰难的故事，我们不应回避，因为黑暗的展现是为了让基督的光辉更加闪耀。希律的骄傲和偏执导致了他残暴的行为，并最终走向毁灭。希律的故事是一个警示，提醒我们警惕骄傲和偏执。希律和法老的暴行都源于恐惧和对权力的渴望，但上帝的救赎计划最终会实现。摩西和耶稣都是被上帝拯救的，他们都代表着救赎和解放。即使在邪恶面前，上帝的救赎计划仍在进行。上帝的恩典即使在最黑暗的地方也能照耀，带来希望和医治。在庆祝圣诞节时，我们应该记住整个故事，包括其中的黑暗部分。上帝掌管一切，即使在看似绝望的情况下也能成就祂的美意。
