9 After listening to the king, they went on their way. And behold, the star that they had seen when it rose went before them until it came to rest over the place where the child was. ~ Matthew 2:9
Everyone, at some point in time, lives in a world of darkness without Christ. Whether we’re born into that darkness or we choose to willingly leave the light for that darkness, it doesn’t matter because we’ve all been in that darkness. This includes the wise men.
But not all of us are like the wise men because the majority of mankind doesn’t know about the star of Jesus. We don’t know how to find it. We don’t know which star it is. We don’t recognize it when it rises.
The majority of us are like King Herod. We ask about the prophecies and the star, but we still don’t recognize them or understand them. So, we try to destroy the Messiah out of fear of losing what we have in the darkness, not realizing that what He has in store for us in the light is worth more than silver, frankincense, or even gold.
Christ has so much in store for you. Don’t miss out on Him. Do more than ask about the signs that lead to Him; seek Him. Because when you seek Him, you will find Him.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Do More Than Ask.
