Day 4 In Matthew 2: The magi came to Jerusalem saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him” (v. 2). Notice Herod’s response. “When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him” (v. 3). Herod was agitated about a rival king being born, so he asked his chief priests and scribes, where this Messiah would be born. They said, “In Bethlehem of Judea” (v. 5). They told Herod it was prophesied in Micah 5:2 that Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. Something needs to be pointed out for our application! These religious leaders knew the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem, yet they wouldn’t walk a couple of miles to see the Son of God. It’s not that they were ignorant of Christ; they were just indifferent to the message of Christ. You see, the news of a Savior is really no news at all if you don’t feel like you need a Savior. Could this be the primary reason for indifference regarding Jesus today? #247daily
