Compelled to Seek

At the time of Christ’s birth, a brilliant new star appeared in the heavens. So powerful was its light that it drew a group of magi from the east to embark on a long journey in search of a King whose coming had been foretold. These were men of great knowledge from western Asia who had spent their lives seeking wisdom as philosophers, priests, and astrologers. Yet, in all of their spiritual seeking, they were hungry for more.

Willing to leave behind their comfortable lives and respected careers, they risked everything to make the dangerous trek through harsh conditions and manifold unknowns. But because their hearts had been captured by this sign that a mighty deliverer had been born, they were compelled to seek until they found Him.

Like the magi, once we come face-to-face with Jesus, we can willingly put aside our human knowledge. In the presence of His eternal wisdom, let us joyfully worship the one we seek.
