Matthew 2: 4, 5
And when he had gathered all the chief Priests and Scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where the Christ should be born. And they said unto him, 'In Bethlehem of Judea; for thus it is written by the Prophets.'
REACTION OF INDIFFERENCE
The Priests of the people were learned men. They had a high position in the society of the people, because they were seen as the peoples link to GOD. When asked about where the CHRIST was born, they only quoted the Scripture about the Christ, they didn't go and see JESUS.
The Priests were preoccupied with their duties and the position that they held in society so they gave an answer to the questions asked and then, moved on to their business.
This kind of indifference is seen today in the intellectual community. They say that they know JESUS, but their heart is far from Him. They are "lukewarm". The Revelation 3: 15, 16 says " I know Thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot; I would thou were cold or hot. So then, because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth."
The answer to this is to repent from the heart and be zealous for the LORD.
COME AND SEE THE PLACE WHERE JESUS IS AND BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP HIM
