Christmas Fortnight Day 13

Continuing our look at some of the people connected with Jesus’ birth, today I’d like to look at the ‘wise men’.

We’ll look at portions of Matthew 2:1-12, “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him….9 When they had heard …, they departed’ and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was…..10 …..they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 ….they saw the young child….and fell down, and worshipped him: and …..presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh……12 And being warned of God…..they departed into their own country ….”

Not keepers of the sheep, nor lowly men but ‘wise’ men.

Men who:

       Had great wealth,

              came from afar, and

                      brought gifts of great value.

Men who:

       Sought HIM diligently

              Rejoiced to see the star and find the Babe, and

                      WORSHIPPED THE NEWBORN KING!!!

How about you?

If you don’t know Him—seek Him and HE will be found, in fact He’s looking for YOU.

If you do know Him—

Seek Him, His ways and His will diligently and obey.

       Rejoice in Him always.

              WORSHIP THE NEWBORN KING!!!!

                      WORSHIP THE SOON COMING KING!!!

                            The one born to die for You and Me!!!
