Would we need to Visit Jesus like the Wise Men?

The Wise Men Visits Jesus

Here is the first time after Jesus came to earth that people of another nation and religion recognized His greatness and came to worship Him. The wise were the first of a great multitude to come. And i think there's much more wisdom in these wise men knowing that Christ is Lord and leaving their towns to find Him so that they can worship Him. What we know is that they were truly wise as they were wise enough to seek Jesus. They were wise enough to seek information. They were wise enough to worship Jesus when they found Him.

Christ's Gospel is for all men. He is the Saviour of all who trust in Him, regardless of nationality and background. Notice the Wise men were not from Jerusalem and may have not been Jews.

The wise men had to go to Jerusalem to seek information on where to find the Messiah. The religious leaders and scholars of Jerusalem knew that the Messiah would come and knew the place of His birth. But they made no effort, it seems, to find Him or to honor and worship Him. It is not what men know which makes them acceptable to God. The state of their hearts with their motives and desires is all-important.

You may know the Word of God but the state of your heart determines whether you would allow it change your life or not.

According to Matthew 2:11, when the wise men found the house where Jesus was, they bowed down and worshipped Him, Jesus the King, the young child, not His mother. The fact that God brought these men to worship Christ, and recorded it for our instruction in His Word, tells us that Christ is God – only God is worthy of worship (see Matt 4:10). And God often commanded that men should worship no one but Himself. So Jesus is God too.

Should we visit Jesus like the wise men?

Our King Jesus, is no longer a young child but a resurrected savior who had gone through this world and fulfilled his purpose of saving mankind from their sins by dying on the cross for them and resurrecting on the third day. We should visit Him Yes. Because if we do not seek Him, we may not find Him. And finding Jesus means finding Salvation, finding freedom. He alone is our Savior. And How do we love a good life without a savior in this chaotic world?

So Yes, we should visit Jesus too. Every day Every moment.

How do we visit Jesus?

Jesus is God and one of the attribute of God is that He is omnipresent. He lives presently with everyone wherever we are at. Meaning, Jesus can be reached right where you are at. We just need to believe that He is God and when we speak to Him, He hears us. So to visit Jesus today is to talk to Him in prayer and seek Him in His Words. The Word of God is God too. (John 1:1)

Why You Need to Keep Record of Your Salvation Experience.

There are some memories that should never be forgotten, one of which is the story of your salvation. I think our Faith hangs on it somehow. Daily reminding ourselves that once we were lost but now and we are found. Daily reminding ourselves that our human mind never would have reckoned that the freedom which we now enjoy in Christ was possible. Daily reminding ourselves how broken, sad, confused, worried and tired we were before we found Christ who gave us peace in abundantly. Yes, our faith hangs on these memories. Because there would be days when salvation become visibly "no longer relevant", then we have reasons to say, no. I still can't afford to loose it. My old life wasn't better off. But there's one more reason why we should never forget our beginning with God. Worship. How do you worship God the best way when you have chosen to forget your personal experience of Him? And By Worship here, it goes beyond the emotions we feel while singing to Him. Fine, it is...

Is the Sermon On The Mount Meant for Everyone?

Is the Sermon On The Mount Meant for Everyone? The teaching of Jesus from Matt 5 up to Matt 7:28 is called “The Sermon on the Mount” because Jesus preached it on a mountain side. This sermon shows what Jesus meant when He commanded people to repent. It reveals what entering God's kingdom means, both in one's inner experience and outward behavior. It reveals principles which operate in the kingdom, and those things which exclude people from the kingdom. The sermon begins with the word “blessed”. So we can say the sermon sets forth the blessed life – who the blessed are and how they should behave. The blessed are those in the kingdom of heaven (Matt 5:3). This sermon does not give specific instructions as to how to enter God's kingdom but shows what sort of people are in it, and what they should seek to become and do. This sermon, for the most part, is for disciples of the Lord Jesus, not for everyone. However, it seems clear from Matt 7:28 that many other people besides H...

The Story Of Salvation According To Matthew 1

The name “Jesus”, like the Hebrew name Joshua, means “the LORD (Jehovah) saves”. The word “Christ” is from the Greek language and means “anointed one”. Its meaning is the same as “Messiah” taken from the Hebrew. The Messiah was to be anointed by God – that is, set apart and consecrated by God, to fulfill the promises of the Old Testament. He was to be prophet, king, and priest. According to the Old Testament the Messiah had to be a descendant of Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation, and of David, Israel's greatest king. To show that this was true of the Lord Jesus, Matthew gives this genealogy in Matthew 1 which shows how Jesus relates to David and Abraham by Ancestry. Jesus as to His human nature was descended from David who lived a thousand years before Him, and from Abraham who lived nearly two thousand years before Him. The women whose name showed up on this genealogy (Rahab, Bethseba and Ruth) teaches us of God's wonderful grace and mercy towards sinful peop...
