Today's verse is Matthew 2:3 with Amanda Idleman.
When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him.
"Just hearing the news that this future king was born created a deep anxiety in the whole community. That means, there was a true faith in the Word of God, even by those not following Christ... I hope that that pushes you to dig into the Word a little more and examine how you respond to what God says."
