Christmas Hypocrisy

You are probably aware of the magi who came to Jerusalem looking for the King who had been born. Herod, the king of Judah was quite disturbed by this news. Herod was a very jealous man and was threatened by this news.

Herod called together the Bible scholars to find out where this promised king was to be born. They told Herod that He would be born in Bethlehem. So, Herod sends the magi on their way with these amazing words, “When you find the King let me know so I can come and worship Him.”

That statement is the height of hypocrisy. Herod did not want to worship this king, he wanted to kill him. But the hypocrisy of Herod is very common.

There are many today who will worship Christ with their lips. They will sing the Christmas songs and go to Christmas services, but their hearts are far from Christ.
