If there was any question in Mary or Joseph’s mind at the time of Jesus’ birth, the new star blazing in the sky would have sealed it. This was their Messiah. But I don’t think the star was for Mary or Joseph’s benefit. The star was there to lead others to the Christ child. And just like the star led the wise men, we need to seek diligently the true light of Jesus and let it lead us to Him.
The song in the video below is one of my favorites. What if, like the wise men, we left everything with a fervent desire to find Jesus. Just to get a glimpse of Him and offer Him our gifts. If only we all had such desire. As you watch the video, it’s easy to focus on the wise men’s story, but try to also think about your life. How has God led you to true wisdom?
