Where Is He?

Matthew 2:1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; 4 and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.

Part of what we refer to as "The Christmas Story" is this arrival of Magi looking for the newborn King. What is jolting is the fact no one in Jerusalem seemed to care or be looking for Him.  They were so caught up in other things they could not be bothered to become a part of the search. They allowed outsiders to go on the journey alone.  Is it possible that we have done the same in celebrating the coming of the Messiah? That we get so caught up in less important things that we do not take time to seek Him, to worship Him? Where is He in your celebration?
