Christmas Fortnight Day 13 A Word from THE WORD! #425
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 ….”
These men were 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 then they
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! He came to die for my sin and yours! And HE is faithful to save.
“And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS:
for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
If you know Him—Seek Him today,
His ways continually–
His will diligently–
and obey it.
Rejoice in Him always.
WORSHIP THE NEWBORN KING!!!!
WORSHIP THE SOON COMING KING!!!
The one born to die for us!!!
And remember that worship isn’t just singing or praying or even faithfully serving in a church; it is a life lived in total submission and devotion to our King Jesus! Consider where your devotion lies—not just on Christmas but each and every day that God gives you!
Amen and Amen!!!
