As the holiday season envelops us, it's a chance to sit back, relax, and consider the most meaningful gift we can give this Christmas.
Ancient wisdom continues to speak to us today. Let’s journey back to the era of the Magi and explore the lessons their journey can teach us.
A Light to Follow
Their story is captured in Matthew 2:1-12 (King James Version). The Magi were guided by a light?"a star that led them to Christ. This guiding light is symbolic, reminding us of Matthew 5:14-16: "You are the light of the world…" Just as the star guided the Magi, our light can lead others to Christ. Is your light shining bright enough to draw others in?
A Journey of Faith
The Magi’s journey was one of faith and determination. They sought God, knowing they would find Him by following the light. Jeremiah 29:13-14 reassures us: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Worship in Awe
Upon finding Christ, the Magi worshipped Him. The Greek term for worship, proskuneo, means to adore, to fall down in awe. This profound act is mirrored in Revelation 4:10-11, where worship is shown as a wholehearted surrender. It’s not enough to say "I love you, Lord" merely with words; true worship is about engaging your heart and soul.
Avoiding Distractions
Christmas can sometimes distract us with its traditions and festivities. We may find ourselves more focused on buying gifts than on the presence of Christ. Instead, let’s prioritize worshiping the One for whom Christmas is celebrated.
Gifts of Great Value
The Magi presented Christ with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh?"gifts of great value. What about us? What gift have we chosen for Jesus? John 15:13 reminds us of His great love: "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends."
Offering Our Lives
Christ doesn’t ask for extravagant gifts, but rather our lives?"dedicated and aligned with His ways. This Christmas, as we think of gifts for loved ones, let’s remember the most fitting gift for Christ is ourselves.
Matthew 10:37-39 challenges us: "Anyone who loves their family more than me is not worthy of me…" Are we willing to offer such devotion? It might be costly, but it's the perfect gift for Him.
Let’s dedicate our lives to Christ this Christmas and strive to live in fellowship with Him throughout the year.
"O COME LET US ADORE HIM, CHRIST, THE LORD"
