Don’t you just love the Christmas season, with all the joy, the merriment and the gifts? It is truly a special time of year. And as Christians, there is a significance to the season that we often think is overlooked and lost in today’s culture. The reality is, there is a purposeful attempt in today’s culture to downplay the real meaning of the season.
Actually, it’s not just today’s culture, this has been happening since the day Jesus was born. When the Magi (the “wisemen”) said they wanted to worship the Messiah, King Herod (who was greatly disturbed at the birth of the Messiah and felt threatened) met with the wisemen and told them to find out where He was born and report back to him, so that he too could worship Him.Which brings us to this month’s theme passage, Matthew 2:9-10:
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
That’s when they worshiped Him and presented their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. God then warned them in a dream not to go back to Herod, so they took a different route home.
Just like how the Magi must have felt, I am absolutely overjoyed to present to you this special Christmas box filled with meaningful gifts that can make a difference in someone’s life for all eternity.
