Your Faith Journey 110
Matthew, one of the four gospel writers, shares the story of the Magi visiting Jesus as a young child:
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” – Matthew 2:1-2 NIV
Are you seeking the king of the Jews? He is the King of kings.
What led you to Jesus? If you are a Christian, God wants you to be a light that leads others to Christ.
The Magi worshiped Jesus. What or who are you worshiping?
The Magi offered Jesus gifts. What are you offering to the Lord?
