Woodrow Kroll writes this provoking thought: “If the star of Bethlehem first
appeared on the night Jesus was born, then two groups started a journey toward
worship that evening. The shepherds didn’t have far to go. They could probably
see the dim lamplights of the little town from the hillside where they were
tending their flocks. Meanwhile, in a distant land, wise men marveled and began
preparations for an important journey. It may have taken them as long as two
years of travel to reach Bethlehem.”
As you ponder
the things of Christmas in your heart, take a moment to reflect where you are now
in your journey with Christ:
Was it a short
trip (perhaps you came to Him when you were young), or were you a long time in
coming (perhaps you repented later in life)?
What it was that drew your attention to The Savior?
Who or what was
it that pointed the way? How did you find out about Jesus?
Are you drawing
even nearer to Him in your everyday walk?
Why do you
worship Him?
How will your Christmas worship be different this year?
