| His Childhood: The Magi’s Search |
|
Reflections: These Magi (or Wise Men) weren’t normal guys. Verse 2 tells us that they stopped and asked for directions. Nothing makes a man feel less manly than that. But sometimes in our spiritual lives, that’s exactly what we have to do. The Magi weren’t going to find Jesus unless they asked where he was. Sometimes in our walk with Christ, we get lost. Maybe we run into a question that we can’t answer. Maybe a Bible passage stumps us. Maybe we experience more confusion than clarity. In those times, don’t hesitate to ask for directions. There is no shame in asking another Christ-follower for help. Even if you’ve been following Christ for many years, you can still experience times when you need the help and counsel of another believer. Don’t allow your pride to stop you from asking them to assist you. The church exists to help one another grow in Christ. The day we can’t ask another believer for some spiritual direction is the day that we cease to be the church as God designed. |
