Worship
“Where is He that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him” (Matthew 2:2).
Centuries ago some wise men from an eastern country saw a very unique star in the sky. They must have studied and puzzled over it for some time and then figured out that this star meant that the King of the Jews had been born. They went to Israel to find Him, which they did after diligent search and inquiry. When they finally came into His presence they fell down and worshipped the One for whom they had travelled so far. “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh” (Matthew 2:11).
We can worship that same One today. Not as a young child here in this world, like the wise men of long ago. We worship Him as our God and Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. We worship Him as a glorified, exalted Man in heaven. We worship Him because He died to save us.
