“Everyone had to travel to his own ancestral hometown to be accounted for.” (Luke 2:3, The Message)
Drop everything, put your own interests aside, count the cost, and obey. The upside, likely, was that many enjoyed happy reunions along the journey and at the destination. Villains are not entirely evil. Plus, observant children benefited from opportunities to watch modeled obedience.
It's relatively painless to "obey right away" when it's easy and I have no major objections. Most of me generally wants to obey, but there's still the hidden part that is standing up on the inside.
