For all times there has been a great battle between two Kingdoms: the Kingdom of God and the kingdoms of this earth. Jesus came to secure complete and final victory. Join us today as we talk about Herod, the earthly king who rages against Jesus, the true King.

In today’s episode, we turn our attention to Jesus as our Great High Priest—the one who makes atonement and intercedes, asking forgiveness on behalf of the people. Our scripture comes from Luke 2:22-30, where Mary and Joseph faithfully bring the infant Jesus to the temple, just as the Law in Leviticus required. What seems like a simple act of obedience becomes a powerful moment of revelation. There, Simeon and Anna—led by the Holy Spirit—recognize Jesus, bless God, and proclaim that salvation has now come.

Previously, we explored Jesus as the true Prophet, who speaks the Word of God and is the Word, and as the Good Shepherd, who lovingly cares for His flock. Today, we see how even in His infancy, Jesus is presented in the place where priests minister—foreshadowing His ultimate role as the High Priest who would one day offer not an animal sacrifice, but Himself, for the forgiveness of sins. This episode invites us to see how God’s redemptive plan is already unfolding in the temple, through obedience, worship, and the quiet faith of those who recognize who Jesus truly is.
