Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during
the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands
arrived in Jerusalem, asking, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We
saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him." Matthew
2:1-2
King of the Jews. Herod discovered that
this King was to be born in Bethlehem and he told the magi—wise men—traveling from
the east where they could find this new King of the Jews so that they could
worship Him.
And the star they had seen in the east
guided them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place
where the child was. When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! Matthew
2:9-10
Like those wise men do you seek the King of
the Jews…and desire to worship Him? Do you picture Him as a baby in a manger…or
a King seated on a throne in Heaven? Where will you find Him? May I suggest
that you search for Him in your Bible…He is on most pages. Look for Him closely—look
between the lines…and listen to the words written about Him and pay close
attention to the words proclaimed by Him. Like those wise men, I have come to
worship Him. Do you want to join me?
Prayer
~ Dear Jesus…I worship and adore You…not just at Christmas—but all year—every day.
The very stars that You created led the wise men to Your Bethlehem home. May stars
and truth in Your words guide each of us to You today and brighten our
understanding of Your glory and power.
