3When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. 4And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. 5And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, 6And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Matthew 2:3-6 This morning in my personal devotions I read this passage of the early years of Jesus Christ, It struck me as strange that after hearing from the wise men from the east and from the chief priests and scribes That Herod did nothing about the situation Himself instead of going and searching diligently for the young child He sent the wise men to do his dirty work. Let us not be like King Herod but let us search diligently for Christ in his word day by day and in prayer.
