The Wise Men

The wise men saw the light.

The scripture records that the wise men saw the star and they followed it. As long as they kept their focus on the star, they would reach their destination.

The same is true with us: As long as we keep our focus on the Light, we will reach our destination!

John 8:12 says, “Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

Speaking of Jesus, John 1:4-5 says, “In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.”

• His light dispels all darkness.
• His light provides direction toward salvation, toward our destinies, and toward eternal life.
• His light evokes worship! The wise men said, “We have seen His light, and we have come to worship.”

Just like the wise men, as long as we follow the Light, we will reach our destination!

Matthew 2:11 says, “They entered the house and saw the child with His mother, Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped Him. They they opened their treasure chests …” 

• Wise men worship Him. They reverence and adore Him.
  
• Wise men bow to Him. They come in humble submission to His Lordship.
  
• Wise men bring Him their offerings. They lay their treasures at His feet.

“Then they opened their treasure chests and gave Him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh” (Matthew 2:11).

They gave Him the gift of gold because He is the King of all kings.

They gave Him the gift of frankincense because He is the High Priest above all priests, making intercession for us.

They gave Him the gift of myrrh, because He is the Healer of all mankind.

Do you know Him as King, Priest and Healer?

Have you opened your treasure chest and laid it all down at the feet of Jesus?
