The Christ of Christmas; Herod’s Decision

"After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, ‘Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.’ When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him." - Matthew 2:1-3

 

When Christ's birth was proclaimed, there were two distinct reactions. The first was like the Magi who gathered up treasures and set off to worship the newborn King. The second was like King Herod who was disturbed at the news. Why, you might ask? Well, King Herod was interested only in himself. And truly, we’re all faced with this same decision when we meet Jesus. Will we place our trust in Him or rely on ourselves? Well, let me urge you, place your trust in Jesus.
