The Wise Men's Christmas, Part 2

December 27, 2024

Do you seek Jesus wholeheartedly? The Wise Men were from the East, philosophers and astrologers in the employ of kings. Yet something in their study of the stars convinced them to travel far to seek the baby Jesus to worship as King of the Jews. 

In this message, Stuart Briscoe helps us understand what may have motivated these men to embark on their search and challenges us to use them as inspiration not only for ourselves but in how we interact with the seekers of Jesus in our own lives.

References: Matthew 2

Who was Jesus? Jesus was no ordinary child. The book of Hebrews says He was Divinity. He was God Himself, Immanuel—God with us. In this Christmas message, Jill Briscoe discusses the miraculous birth of Jesus, who Jesus was, and what that means for us.

John's gospel was written so that the readers "may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing (they) may have life through his name." What this believing entails and what this life involves are the subjects of our inquiry.

Jesus talked to Nicodemus, an orthodox Jewish teacher, and to a Samaritan woman, two people who would never tolerate each other. But He loved both of them. His concern for the eternal well-being of all people transcends all other considerations.

John 3:16 used to be regarded as the best known Bible verse. But since the advent of political correctness, "Judge not that ye be not judged" has become better known! That is sad because John 3:16 speaks of the greatest gift of all! Today we'll unwrap it.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father…" This being the case, we will spend a little time unwrapping them to see what He has given us. First, He has given us "the right to become the children of God."

In many of the remaining monarchies, the kings and queens are much beloved by their people, but they have very little real power. Sadly, many believers relate to Jesus the same way. They proclaim Jesus to be King of Kings and the Lord of their lives, but they make all the decisions! When we let Christ truly reign, amazing things happen.
