RELIGION /columns, events Will real wise men please stand up, filled with joy at his coming? BY REV HARRY SNYDER Retired Minister On Christmas Eve many will rise to sing, "Joy to the world! The Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room...He rules the world with truth and grace, and makes the nations prove the glories of His righ teousness and wonders of His love." When news of the birth of Jesus Christ was heard, were the hearts of all the people in Judea filled with joy? Please read the Gospel according to Matthew 2:1-23. Confronted with Christ's coming people react in one of three ways. One way people react to Christ's coming is like Herod, to be troubled. Why? Herod considered Jesus Christ as a rival to his seat of power as king of Judea. Herod was ap pointed by Caesar and he re ceived the vote of the Roman senate to be king of Judea. He proved himself to be wily, to maintain order, to be an able tax-collector to Rome, and to meet any insurrection with Roman military force. Herod inquired from the chief priest and the scribes where Christ was to be born. They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for it is written by the prophet: But you, O Bethle hem...from you shall come a ruler who will govern my people Israel" (Matthew 2:6) In addition, Micah proph esied, "And he shall stand and PERSPECTIVE feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God (Micah 5:2-4) While Herod the king would force his people to serve Rome and himself by the strength of Roman might, the Christ would care for and feed his people like a shepherd in the strength of God's love. When Herod heard the words from the priest and the scribes, he ordered the wise men from the East to go, search, find the Christ child, and report back to him so that he might come and worship him. In truth Herod planned to come not to worship the Christ child, but to kill him. A second way people react to Christ's coming is like the chief priests and the scribes — to be "ho-hum," passive. In the temple the chief priests were rulers, and, as for the scribes, they were experts in law and in knowledge of scriptures. When king Herod asked where the Christ was to be born, the scribes referred to the proph ecy. They failed to respond to Caviar Continued From Page 3-B to many social occasions. The delicate flavor of caviar can be accented with lemon juice, the gentle fish eggs can be mixed in with sour cream or cream cheese, or they can be savored atop crusty slices of French bread.

There is a third way peoplt react to Christ's coming — like the wise men. They believec that a star could be a counter part or an angel of a great man They saw a new star, moving tc the west, bidding them to fol low, and follow they did, until it came to rest over the place where the Christ child was born. There, they fell down and worshipped him and offered him their treasures. "And be ing warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by an other way (Matthew 2:12). The wise men chose not to obey Herod, the king of Judea, but to trust and obey the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Confronted with Christ's coming, which way will you and I react to the Lord's com ing? Like Herod? Like the chief priests? Or like the real wise men who were filled with joy at his coming?
