The
Wise Men in the Christmas story teach each of us a powerful testimony in the
Christian walk of life; for these men demonstrate traits we should try to
imitate: those of humility, worship and giving.
In
the Bible it is written in (Matthew 2: 11) “
And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with
Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened
their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and
myrrh.
One
commentary I read on the internet had this to say about these men. It said:
“When we seek God with sincere determination, we will
find him. He is not hiding from us, but wants to have an intimate relationship
with each of us. These wise men paid Jesus the kind of respect only God
deserves, bowing before him and worshiping him. Jesus is not just a great
teacher or admirable person as many people say today, but the Son of the Living
God. After the Three Kings met Jesus, they did not go back the way they came.
When we get to know Jesus Christ, we are changed forever and cannot go back to
our old life.”
This
Sunday we will have an opportunity to come to Daniels Chapel Church for another
Lord’s Day of worship and praise. Over and over I cannot thank God enough for
the wonderful year it has been at the Church and for the souls that have been
saved and the new faces that continue to walk through our doors for the Church’s
many programs, ministries and discipleship opportunities. This Advent season
has been one of the best and we look forward to gathering Sunday morning and
evening to praise and thank Jesus Christ for His birth!! What I want to impress
upon you today is that this is another great time to “Worship the King!!”
During
the services Sunday we will receive our annual Christmas offering. Our goal
this year is $25,000. Let us come before God Sunday as the wise men came to
Jesus Christ. Please prayerfully consider bringing the biggest offering to God
you can for we can never out give God nor thank Him enough for salvation. As
well the Church depends upon your presence, utilization of your talents and the
giving of His Tithes and our Offerings to help meet the budget and plan for
short and long term goals in all areas of the Church.
In
closing I am happy to share with you another great fact in that God will be
here Sunday morning and evening for Jesus is NOT hiding from our problems; for
He is the One true solution and we should come to worship and honor Him!! In
respect to God, let us humbly come to Church with sincere and loving hearts to
not just worship our new-born King but to bring Christ and His Church a special
offering of gratitude and thanksgiving.
