(Matthew 2: 1-12) Ambrose said of Christ: "As the print of the seal on the wax is the express image of the seal itself, so Christ is the express image the perfect representation of God." Curiosity, Matthew 2: 1-2 The first ten or fifteen words of this passage give expression to the greatest event known to man. Volumes have been written concerning the birth of Jesus. "Now when Jesus was-born in Bethlehem" means that there was a . moment in the history of man when God sent His Son into the world. It means that God's Son became man who would experience every temptation, deprivation, and difficulty known to man. Jesus was born at a certain place, at a definite time, and under certain circumstances. His birth brought wise men from the east to Jerusalem. We know only that these men came from the east. We know they were men of wisdom. They had seen what they called "his star" in the east and had come to worship Him. These men set an example for men of all ages. Burke said, "The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity." These men were wise so they responded to the excited curiosity immediately. Had they hesitated and lingered they would have remained in ignorance concerning earth's most glorious event. " Many people even in Bethlehem were untouched and unmoved by this great event simply because they were indifferent to it. It is so today. Multitudes go through life unconcerned about eternal issues. Niccdemus learned the great truth that a man could be born again because he was courious. Zacchaeus was saved and had Jesus as a guest in his home because he wanted to see this man Jesus. If there was a person who was born of a virgin and the angels announced his birth and all of the other facts we read about Him, don't you want to know Him? We are called upon to seek the Lord while He may be found. Counsel, Matthew 2: 3-4 These things disturbed the mind of Herod the Great. Not only was he troubled, but all Jerusalem with him. Herod would have felt threatened by any mention of a king. All of Jerusalem would be troubled by what Herod would do under such circumstances. Herod gathered all of the chief priests and scribes of the people together. These would be the professional students and teachers of the Old Testament Scriptures. He then demanded of them where the promised and expected Christ (Messiah) should be born. These would be in the position to know above all others. Christmas Drama Conviction, Matthew 2: 5-12 The Old Testament supplied the answer to Herod's miration The Rihle (till hna the anauiar tn tha hia of life and eternity. The Scriptures had spoken. : Herod was hypocritical and had cruel intention. When the wise men found the King in Bethlehem they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. They knew beyond the shadow of a doubt that this was the King. When men come to Jesus Christ today, they know with great certainty that He is the annointed one of God. It cannot be proven or demonstrated to those who have rejected the King, but it is true none the less. They were so convinced they defied the Kings demand. Conviction enables one to be his own man! v V THE BIBLE QUESTION OF THE WEEK "Is it a sin to have doubts about God or our relationship to God?" ANSWER . NO. No one has perfect faith. Failure to overcome our doubts is sin. We need to replace our doubts with faith. Study the Bible, exercise what faith you now have, and ask God to give you more. The Christmas drama "Miracle in Bethlehem" will be presented Sunday evening, December 21 at 7 p.m. at First Assembly of God Church, 715 W. Grubb St., Hertford under the direction of Mrs. John Meidell. This is the story of a man who having lost faith in God, had turned to idol worship. The shepherd's story of angels announcing the birth of a Saviour, the servants' strong faith that the child is the Messiah, and a promise he makes to his daughter are all incidents which lead us to the climax at the cradle of the Christ Child. At the cradle of the Messiah, his faith in God is reborn. The public is invited to attend. V t v r:, V' Mill I llllll .
