"Seeking Jesus!"

Unfortunately, my computer was not working on January 6, the “Day of the Epiphany.” Thank for stopping by my blog and sharing in these occasional life reflections. The comment section is open, I welcome your comments. Now, here’s what I wanted to say on January 6.

When we read the story of Jesus’ birth in the book of Matthew, we find that the story isn’t so clear about when the wise men actually arrived at the “house where Jesus was.” Many interpret the story, given that Herod sought to put to death all the infants under the age of 2, to mean that the wise men did not arrive until the “baby Jesus” was several – maybe even 24, months old. That is to say that the “wise men” were very deliberate in their search for the Messiah. They spent a significant amount of time to prepare for and complete their journey. They spent considerable energy to travel to Bethlehem to see Jesus, the one they had determined to be the “Savior of the world.”

The question that comes up for us, as Jesus’ followers, is this one, “How much energy do we spend in seeking to know our Lord?

There is a line “wise men still seek him”. In this Epiphany time, may we be among the wise who are seeking Jesus and bowing to worship him. May we invest time and effort into our growing relationship with the one who is the “Messiah” of God.
