Isn’t it interesting that the chief priests and scribes were brought together and demanded to know where Christ would be born. Something was up for sure, the new star, and wise men questioning where the baby was born. It was very unlikely that a royal baby would be born in an ordinary town like Bethlehem. The important rulers knew what the prophesy’s foretold. Out of this little town of Bethlehem would come the ruler of Israel. Jesus was a threat to them, even as a baby. Isn’t this an amazing example of the power there is, even in a small seed. If we think about the faith of a mustard seed, a very tiny seed can grow to be a huge plant. Here was a tiny little baby, who would grow up to change the world forever. Our faith can grow, from little faith, to great faith! God planted His best seed, and the mighty harvest that would result would be a way for those who were lost to be saved. He literally was born to die, and then to live again, so that we can live the amazing abundant life that Jesus promised to us.
