Three wise men, three kings of earth came seeking something great. Not really knowing what they sought, they followed a star and words of ancient prophets. They come bearing gifts of great value. Gifts for the king. They came to pay Him homage. They came to a savior they’d meet in the lowliest, dirty manger.
Wrapped in swaddling clothing, held by His blessed mother and guarded by his father, the three kings found the Prince of Hope, the King of Mercy. They bowed before this baby, awed by what they beheld. Changed forever by this encounter.
They met that night, the King of all kings, bowing in the dark night before the Light of the world.
One King to rule them all and from the darkness save them…
Tonight, as we prepare for His birth, spend time meditating upon this meeting. Meditate upon how you met Jesus. And, upon how you will meet His this year. I pray and beg God that this meeting leave you changed forever.
