Christmas Message 2022
"Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
Matthew records this event in his second chapter and leaves us wondering how pagan countrymen, even "scientists" in their day, would come and worship the newborn King. This did not violate the 1st & 2nd Commandments of the Law nor was this out of some tradition of man. But it was the call to worship that only the Lord God can do in the hearts of every sinner ever born. This kind of worship was authentic and genuine!
May we worship Christ the Lord genuinely on the day we acknowledge His resurrection, the day after the Jewish Sabbath and on the day we acknowledge His birth, this Christmas day. May you find yourself setting everything aside for a time to spend worshipping the Savior today surrounded by believers who have also come to worship.
~ Merry Christmas, Pastor Trevor
