Summary

Ultimately, there are only two groups of people in the world: (1) those who revere Jesus as the King of their life, and (2) those who reject Jesus as the King of their life. In this Christmas Eve message from Matthew 2:1–12, David Platt challenges us to consider which group we are in.

0:00.0	You are listening to Radical with David Platt, a weekly podcast with sermons and messages from pastor, author, and teacher David Platt.
0:09.5	We've gathered together tonight to celebrate history. We're not retelling a fairy tale with fictional characters.

1:40.8	question, obviously not to answer out loud, but I do want to encourage you to
1:45.2	answer this question quietly and personally and honestly, meaning not just in your head or even
