This week's "Reflection" by Gary Keith, Executive & Teaching PastorThis week we looked at Christmas through the eyes of the wise men. This part of the Christmas story is simply intriguing - why would highly intelligent men travel around 1,000 miles across the desert to visit a child king who was not even part of their ethnicity? What interest did they have in visiting this newborn "King of the Jews," when they were not Jewish?
What do you think? Why did the wise men travel all that distance to see a child who did not live a palace, but in a little town of Bethlehem, who didn't even look like or live like a king? Pretty interesting story if you ask me!
Christmas through the eyes of the wise men is a story of giving and worship. What gift will you bring to the Son of God this Christmas? How will you worship Jesus this Christmas? I found this story not only intriguing, but also challenging to my personal journey of knowing and loving God - How about you?
