Matthew 2: 1-12
WHO IS WISE?
We all are fascinated by the image of those wise men in our Nativity Scenes, riding on their camels, toward the manger where JESUS rests in the arms of HIS Mother. The fact is, that JESUS was about 2 years old when the wise men came to present their gifts to Him. I find that the fact that they came so far in search of JESUS to be the key to this story.
Who is wise? Those who fear the LORD and search diligently to find HIM. We, too, have seen His NATAL STAR, that light of the glory of GOD, shining in the dark sky, leading us to the place where JESUS is to be found. Wise men/women follow that Shekinah Glory just like the children of Israel followed the fire by night and the cloud by day. The HOLY SPIRIT leads us to JESUS, that is HIS job. The finest gift we can bring to JESUS is our life as a living sacrifice, which is Holy and acceptable unto HIM.
O COME, LET US ADORE HIM, CHRIST THE LORD
