“Where is He that is born King of the Jews?” (Matthew 2:2).

Questions are asked throughout the New Testament about the Lord Jesus Christ. Some are asked by the sincere seeker, others by the cynic, and others by Christ Himself.

“Then said Jesus, Father forgive them; for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34).

“And they told him, and said, We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey; and this is the fruit of it. Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land, and the cities are walled, and very great” (Numbers 13:27,28).

“And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit” (Ephesians 5:18).

“Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens” (Psalm 123:1).

Looking at present circumstances can produce anxiety. Looking back at past failures can produce sorrow. Looking forward to the unknown can produce fear. Looking within at weaknesses and failures can produce misery.
