Contrary to much modern opinion that believes that Jesus can be ignored, He precipitates the most intense reactions. In our lust for power and the preservation of our own security, Jesus threatens our status quo, and we often react with hostility. The murderer, Herod, in the Christmas account illustrates this response. If wisdom is at the core of our being-a desire for truth-Jesus will satisfy our quest. With the wisemen, we will kneel before Him and give our gifts and abilities. Will our response to Jesus be murder, or worship?
