See, Come & Worship

Matthew 2:1–2 (NKJV)
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”

These wise men were not of Jewish descent and as such they did not practice the spiritual regulations of Judaism or know intimately the God of the Jews. Yet, when they saw the star rising, as they were wise men, called "magi", (this term covered a wide variety of men interested in dreams, astrology & magic), they read the sign of the times in the sky and stopped what they were doing to seek and go after it and worship the true and living God.  This speaks directly to the Old Testament text in Isaiah 60:3 “Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn”.

This text demonstrates that God is a God of ALL people, if they would dare look up and see Him, by their own free will come to Him and choose to Worship Him because He is worthy of that honor.

This Advent season won't you see the brightness of the Glory of God in all creation, in His mercy which is new everyday, and His grace which is sufficient for your every issue and concern, and may that compel you to come into His presence, spending regular quality, one on one time with your Abba Father, and in His Divine presence, as He breathes on You and simply because of who He is may it lead you to Worship Him in Spirit and in truth, word and deed, in your everyday life.

To God Be The Glory

The weeks of Advent remind us to set aside some time during the holiday season to reflect on our faith. The Bible readings we will read echo the Advent themes of waiting, preparation, hope, and the coming of the promised Messiah.
