How Do I Come Before Him?
Matthew 2:11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshiped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Jesus, now a toddler, around two, not in the stable but in a house now is visited by the magi from the east. The amazing story never ends. They fall down & worship two year old Jesus as God. What an amazing display of reverence and humility. These are dignified people. Yet, isnt this how all must come before Jesus? Come in complete reverence and humility in reverence. Age had zero factor but the promise of God fulfilled! How long did they stay face down and worship? I bet it wasn't just a quick action. How did Jesus react? What did Joseph & Mary think at the time? Did these magi battle reasoning in their minds, like, why am I doing this? The signs that Jesus is the Messiah is all over the story and account written. And what about these odd gifts? Gold for Him as King, Frankincense for Him as Priest & Myrrh for Him as Prophet. All these gifts were given from hearts that received the greatest gift, Jesus! How many of us realize, God gave us everything and all He wants from us is all our hearts.
