Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger, pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
As we enter another advent season and make our way to Christmas, it is good for us to remind ourselves of the characters surrounding the birth of Jesus. One particular reaction to the birth of Jesus typically goes unnoticed in large part because it comes and goes so quickly. When Herod hears of the birth of Jesus, he consults the chief priests and scribes of his day. What is fascinating to me is that they know exactly where to send the wise men to find the Messiah.
Then what do they do? Well, they do nothing. Their response to the birth of the Messiah might be classified as distracted apathy. They know what is happening but do not take the time out of their busy religious schedules to make their way to Bethlehem to worship their king. Often I find myself in the same position. Am I too busy or distracted to stop and worship my king?
