How do you respond to the King? Matthew gives us three different reactions to the birth of Jesus. King Herod felt threatened and ordered the murder of all infant boys in Bethlehem. Herod's scribes were preoccupied and apathetic, giving Herod the information needed to track down and murder the recently born King of the Jews that the Magi were searching for. The Magi went to great lengths to find and bring costly gifts to the newborn King.
