Tricks Or Worship

MATTHEWS 2:8:

"AND HE SENT THEM TO BETHLEHEM, AND SAID, GO AND SEARCH DILIGENTLY FOR THE YOUNG CHILD; AND WHEN YOU HAVE FOUND HIM, BRING ME WORD AGAIN, THAT I MAY WORSHIP HIM."

When I think on this trick to get info I ponder? Why would he send them just around the corner? Jerusalem is a 10 minute ride in a car that can only drive 30 miles an hour. Herod the King could of sent his soldiers to accompany the wise men. Why did he make a statement of worship Him, the baby born?

All the known Lawyers of Israel where there in the kings court. They along with the other Romans, Persians and Oreintals where advisors to the king. If the wise men where following a prophecy and the ones there with Herod understood about the prophecy, why the need to be tricky?

The baby's were killed in that time period, Jesus was takened to Jerusalem to be dedicated, and brought before the Lord. Thank You Jesus for all you have done to keep us from eternal separation. Thank You for being the deliveror of our souls.
