Matthew 27:22
“What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?”

Here is what some have done with Jesus:

• The Shepherds Gladly Received Word of Him
• Luke 2:1-16
  The shepherds joyfully received the news of His birth and spread the word of Him.
• The Wise Men Worshipped Him
• Matthew 2:1-2
  The wise men traveled from afar to worship Jesus, offering gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
• Herod Tried to Kill Him
• Matthew 2
  Herod sought to kill Jesus out of fear for his throne, attempting to have Him destroyed.
• Some Tried to Trap Him in His Speech
• Matthew 22:23-30
  Religious leaders attempted to trap Jesus with questions to discredit Him, but He responded with wisdom.
• His Own Did Not Receive Him
• John 1:11
  Despite His coming to His own people, they did not accept or recognize Him.
• Judas Betrayed Him
• Matthew 26:14-16
  Judas, one of His disciples, betrayed Him for thirty pieces of silver.

The Question for Us:

• What do you do with Jesus?
• What will Jesus do with you?

These questions challenge us to reflect on our response to Jesus—whether we receive, worship, reject, or betray Him—and the eternal implications of our choices.
