See The Star - Follow The Son
Matthew 2:1&2
Now when JESUS was born in Bethlehem of Judaea, in the days of Harod the king, behold, there came wise men from the East to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East, and have come to worship Him!
Today is the day we celebrate the arrival of the Wise Men to Bethlehem -
These wise men came from a distant place and followed the Star - the Star God put into place to lead them to His Son! They followed this star and after a long trip - they finally had made it to see the Christ child - by this time Jesus had grown a little - he was no longer a baby in a manger but an infant that was beginning to grow and change - Mary must have been so proud to show off this baby - The wise men came to worship Jesus but King Harod had other ideas - he wanted to kill this child because his power was being threatened or so he thought - it got so bad that Harold wanted all boy babies under 2 years of age to be killed - these wise men knew from a dream not to go back to Harold - Their mission was to bring Christ gifts and riches of this world fit for a king -what would a child want to what they brought - to today's mind the gifts seem very odd - but in the time in which they were given - they were priceless in nature - when they laid their eyes upon Christ they bowed down and worshiped - what an odd scene - but it was the right way to approach this child - we have just finished celebrating CHRISTmas and a new year - now we must begin to focus on Christ as He grows from a baby to a man - we go from the cradle to the cross quickly with Easter being the grand celebration but until that can happen -we must approach Christ as the King HE is - we must come humbly before Him - we need to see the Star and then Follow HIM - JESUS alone is worthy of our praise - let's be like these wise men and seek Jesus with all our heart - all our resources and all our mind - let's see the star and follow the SON!
Today is also my Mother's Birthday - Elaine went home in 1993
Today I want to remember her life - pray for me and my family -
May GOD receive the glory for this ministry and for this celebration of the Wise Men meeting JESUS for the first time - many more wise men and women have followed Jesus - He must be the Star of our lives!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the Star showed up - the wise men found JESUS - have you found JESUS and has HE found you? May you be lead to JESUS and believe in HIM!
