The Magi went to king Herod because they thought he would
know who the king of the Jews. King Herod was not happy about sharing his
throne. He wants his way and does not want anyone telling him what to do.
When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the
people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
Matthew 2:3-4 ESV
So, king Herod wanted to know where this threat to his
authority was. In secret, he calls for
the wise men. Most people do not do things in secret when it is virtuous or
noble. But rather sinister and shameful.
Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained
from them what time the star had appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem,
saying, “Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him,
bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.”
Matthew 2:7-8 ESV
Who is the king in your life? Is it Jesus who controls your
life? How is your response to this?
Many times, we want to be king over our lives. We do not
want Jesus in control of all aspects of our lives. We want Jesus to be our
servant or slave. We do not want to be ruled completely or obey the word of God
completely.
What is the word God? It is simply to love God with all your
heart and to love your neighbor.
The religious leaders knew where Jesus would be born. They
knew the messiah would be born. They even taught b about the messiah. However,
they did not respond. This is the other type of person.
and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the
people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In
Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: “‘And you, O
Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of
Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.’”
Matthew 2:4-6 ESV
Having knowledge makes you responsible. The high priests had the knowledge of God and
the Messiah, but they did not respond.
We are the same. Christians have knowledge of Jesus, and we need to be
active Christians. We need to tell
others about Jesus and his mercy.
saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For
we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
Matthew 2:2 ESV
And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his
mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they
offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Matthew 2:11 ESV
The wise men do not hold back with their worship or gift
giving. They respond as one should to God. They gave valuable gifts with meaning that showed their hearts' beliefs about Jesus.
Gold represents Jesus’ authority as king.
Frankincense represents Jesus’ divinity.
Myrrh represents Jesus’ humanity.
Jesus is the perfect mediator. He is fully human and fully
divine and had the authority of king. Therefore, Jesus can be our savior.
However, it brings us back to how do we respond to Jesus. Do we put ourselves
first like King Herod? Do we hold onto this knowledge and then do nothing? Or
do we give our best to Jesus and let him be our king, our lord and true savior?
