Matthew 2:7-8
"Then Herod sent for the wise men [astrologers] secretly, and accurately to the last point ascertained from them the time of the appearing of the star [that is, how long the star had made itself visible since its rising in the east].
Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, Go and search for the Child carefully and diligently, and when you have found Him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship Him."
The birth of JESUS caused discomfort both in the Spiritual realm and the physical realm. In this passage, we can notice the discomfort of Herod in the physical realm after receiving the news of JESUS' birth.
When Herod sent these wise men to search carefully for the Baby, he pretended as if he also wanted to worship HIM. But the truth of the matter is that he had a motive to kill HIM because he felt threatened on his throne.
I have also learnt that it was not only Herod who had a different motive when he wanted to go and see JESUS. This is what is happening daily. Some people go Church to worship JESUS for their Salvation. But many others have a different motive of going to Church. Some they join Churches because they want a decent burial, others because they feel they feel evil spirits are giving them bad lucky, others they are looking for men and women to marry and so on. The list is endless.
It is my prayer that when we go to Church, join a Church, our ultimate reason for that is to seek the Kingdom of GOD and HIS Righteousness and all other things shall be given to us. All others are benefits of being in Church but they mustn't be the ultimate reason why we are in Church. Amen.
Blessings and Shalom
