Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying “where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2:1-2
The word about Jesus spread far and wide shortly after His birth. In this passage of Scripture, we read that many months after the birth, men traveled great distances to inquire of King Herod where they could find this “King of the Jews.”
To seek the Messiah shows true wisdom. The magi are remembered as wise men because they sought Jesus. It is still a wise person who takes the time and makes the effort to find Christ in Christmas.
So today, while Christmas is still with us, look at your December calendar and review the ways you have celebrated. Ask yourself, Did I look for Jesus? Did I look for Jesus? Did I worship Him? Did I present Him with gifts?
If you have been too busy or too preoccupied to find Jesus this Christmas, stop now and take some moments with Him. The wise men sought and found Him. What better time than now for you to do the same?
May we that have come to know Him as Lord and Savior, Worship Him as so during this Advent Season. For unto us a child was born… The Saviour of the world. Do You Know Him?
I once heard it put this way….Let us not gamble to high, but remain by the manger and the swaddling clothes of Christ, ‘in whom dwelleth all fulness of the Godhead bodily”.
If you don’t know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, You Can. John 3:16; says: For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that Everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
The message of the Good News comes to a focus in this verse. God’s love is not static or self-centered; it reaches out and draws others in. God sets the pattern of true love. Won’t you accept His Great Love for you today.
BE ENCOURAGED TODAY!
Knowing you are Greatly Loved by The Creator of the Universe.

If you made that commitment today . Leave a comment. I want to welcome you to the Family of Christ!
