When Jesus Christ was born he was given a few names to help us understand who he was and that he might get the glory due him. Matthew records his names alongside the names of others in chapter 2:1-2... are we meant to compare them?
Jesus is: humans are:
king of the Jews (v2) - Herod the king (v1)
Shepherd of Israel (v6) - Cheif priests/scribes of the people (v4)
Ruler (v6) - Herod (v7)
a worshipped child (v11) - a mother (v11)
Let us respond like the WISE men : "When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshipped him" v10-11a
