Matthew 2:8 “And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.”
Herod was neither the first nor the last to feign worship of the Holy Child. Oh that the birth, death, and resurrection of our Savior would prompt true worship of Him by millions more people, because God seeks for true worshipers. John 4:23 says, “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.”
