When Herod heard about the child born “King of the Jews,” he feared that this child would be a threat to his comfort, power, and riches, so Herod sought to have Jesus killed. Where do I fear that following Jesus would be a threat to my comfort, power, and riches? Is there a sin in my life that I’m comfortable with? Let us lay our sins at His feet, hearing His words of forgiveness.
