The Christmas Story DAY 12
Matthew 2:3
…troubled…
The magi were looking for the King of the Jews.
Herod was troubled because he feared being replaced. All of Jerusalem was troubled also.
A new King was a threat to the status-quo.
Nobody likes to change, sometimes even change for the good.
Herod built the temple, Herod took care of crime in the streets, he was a bit crazy, but the Jewish community had adjusted.
Why would we need a new King and must change all over again? Why change? We are comfortable in our pain and misery.
From the beginning Jesus was a threat to the normal way of life.
What changes are you afraid to make?
