"Special Delivery" -King Herod was informed by wise men, who traveled to Israel that a star had appeared in the eastern sky. They told the king that the star was a sign that the King of Israel had been born. The news of a star appearing and a baby being born troubled King Herod and all of Jerusalem. Why would this news cause such a great disturbance in the holy city of God? Why did the report of the birth of a new king in Jerusalem threaten the King so much that he sought to have Jesus killed, even though He was an infant? Jesus was spiritual but the news of His arrival launched a physical war against Him that ultimately took His life.
