“When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.” (Matthew 2:3)
The coming of God is troubling to the world and its rulers. The birth of Jesus threatened Herod’s power, and he was prepared to take wicked action to protect it.
Nothing has changed. Live your life, point toward Christ just like the magi did, and expect that some will be troubled by your good news. The King is coming. That’s good news whether or not the rulers of this age recognize it as such.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
