Today is December 27, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
In the bible, Jesus declares himself to be God. If anyone else did this, we would say that they are crazy and untrustworthy; that all of their words and actions - no matter how good they are - are dangerous because they are done to manipulate, coerce, and to fool.
And so, is Jesus God? Is Jesus telling the truth or should he be dismissed as a lunatic and cast aside?
This is the question that Christmas poses to us; a question of whether or not we believe the titles that the Angels told the shepherds the night Jesus was born.
Is Jesus really the savior, the messiah, and the Lord?
For the Magi, they had that same question posed to them through the Messianic prophecy of the Old Testament. A question that would have been posed by the writings of one of the Chief Administrators in their culture's history - Daniel. A question whose answer would be found through study and research and calculations of not just Daniel's writings but of the writings of the Prophet Balaam and the Old Testament as a whole.
And what answer did the Magi come to?
They believed Jesus to be the Lord. And they showed their belief by traveling the ~2 year journey to meet Jesus, bowing down and worshipping him and presenting him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
The Magi had sought the truth with all their heart and, in doing so, found Jesus, the Lord.
God's blessing upon you this Christmas season, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
