At the time of the birth of Christ, there were three Magi who sought to find where Christ was born.
Magi were priests of an ancient Persian religion – a religion that, at times, used the stars to assist them in seeking the answers to the mysteries of this world.
In searching for Christ the Messiah, they followed the stars, step by step, in seeking God’s will, that was leading them to where the Christ child was born.
With very little to go on, and the challenge of trying to know and carry out the will of God, their one and most important thing they had going for them was that they were “seeking the TRUTH.” And this is why their journey to find the Messiah was successful.
Many believers struggle to know God’s will. But the Magi had a secret in doing this.
You don’t have to know what lies ahead of you, you never will. But instead, set your heart on finding the “Truth,” and in doing so you will figure out God’s will for your life.
Seeking Christ is seeking the truth.
Seeking the truth is seeking Christ.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man shall come to the Father but through me.” (John 14:6). Following the ‘Way’ (Christ), will lead you to the ‘Truth’ (Christ), and in finding the ‘Truth,” (Christ), you find “Life.” (Christ).
Today we live in a world that survives on lies and other evil tools. But in the mist of all this evil walks the “Truth,” Jesus Christ! And Jesus is the only truth there is to trust and follow. For the Lord said, “Trust in the Lord your God with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, and in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall make your path straight. (Proverbs 3:5-6).
All the world has to offer will lead you to a “dead end.” “All God has to offer will lead you to truth, that leads to eternal life.” (Jesus Christ”).
AMEN!
