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!!!

Bible Ballistics: BBs #770   Christmas Ponderings!!! #5

 

Christmas!  I love this season of lights, joy, smiles, tots, and toys, but most of all I love what it means—and that’s not about any of the frills and bells, but the celebration of the arrival of a Savior, a Redeemer, a Deliverer, A KING!  But mostly I rejoice that HE came to DIE for you and me, if we will but trust to HIS substitutionary, atoning sacrifice for SIN; and contrary to popular opinion, SIN IS the issue, and it is why Jesus came to BE the payment for sin.

“And she shall bring forth a son,

and thou shalt call his name JESUS:

for he shall save his people

from their sins.

22 Now all this was done,

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken

of the Lord

by the prophet, saying,

23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child,

and shall bring forth a son,

and they shall call his name

Emmanuel,

which being interpreted is,

God with us.”    Matthew 1:21-23

God came down to deliver us!  It doesn’t get any better than that; if you will but receive this amazing gift of love, salvation and deliverance given to all who will believe.  The King stooped down in love to deliver us from our sin, that we could be HIS children, not just HIS creation—and yes, there is a difference.

“For the wages of sin is death;

but the gift of God

is eternal life

through Jesus Christ

our Lord.”  Romans 6:23

Have you received the gift from the KING?  You can truly come to this KING for life, “abundant life”!  How?  By being “born again”, “born…of God” by grace through faith!

“He was in the world,

and the world was made by him,

and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own,

and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him,

to them gave he power

to become the sons of God,

even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born,

not of blood,

nor of the will of the flesh,

nor of the will of man,

but of God.”

(All because HE came as a babe, to die for you and me!)    

“14 And the Word was made flesh,

and dwelt among us,

(and we beheld his glory,

the glory as of the only begotten

of the Father,)

full of grace and truth.”  John 1:10-14

This King who came for us—let’s celebrate HIM– for as He told Pilate, as HE faced the cross, it’s why HE was born!

“Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again,

and called Jesus,

and said unto him,

Art thou the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered him,

 Sayest thou this thing of thyself,

or did others tell it thee of me?

35 Pilate answered,

Am I a Jew?

 Thine own nation and the chief priests

have delivered thee

unto me:

what hast thou done?

36 Jesus answered,

My kingdom is not of this world:

 if my kingdom were of this world,

 then would my servants fight,

that I should not be delivered

to the Jews:

but now is my kingdom not from hence.

37 Pilate therefore said unto him,

Art thou a king then?

Jesus answered,

Thou sayest that I am a king.

To this end was I born,

and for this cause came I into the world,

that I should bear witness

 unto the truth.

Every one that is of the truth

 heareth my voice.”  John 18:33-37

What is truth?

“For all have sinned,

and come short of the glory of God;”  Romans 3:23

WHO IS TRUTH?  The BABE born to be KING, that’s WHO!

“I am the way,

 the truth,

and the life:

no man cometh unto the Father,

but by me.”   John 14:6

Amen!!!
