Matthew 2 cont’d:
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.
They heard what the king said
(to go and come back to him) but they went on their way, following the
light. Herod’s orders weren’t their
directive. The star was.
They followed the star and then
it stopped.
They saw the child.
They saw the Savior.
They were overjoyed.
Why do you think God put a star
in the sky to illuminate the way for these men?
I don’t know, but I do know that all of creation is beckoned by his
voice to appear and that all of creation is under his rule. And that brings me joy and comfort.
We are surrounded by his love
and guidance. And when he leads us, he
will give light to our walk, and when he’s ready for us to stop and worship, he
will indicate it and we will be full of joy.
Joy in following the light to
the foot of the cradle where Jesus lay – that must have been an exciting day
for those guys.
Let’s see what happened after that…
