23: Wise Man’s gift

When they saw the star, they were filled with joy. The Wise Men went to the house. There they saw the child with his mother Mary. They bowed down and worshipped him. Then they opened their treasures. They gave him gold, incense and myrrh.
Matthew 2:10-11

Giving a gift to God is a way to worship Him. But you do not have to bring rich gifts to worship God!
You can give God your time. Take time to talk to Him and read His Word. You can give God your hands. Serve Him by helping others. The important thing is that you worship God because you love Him!

23 Wise Man Worship - 2

The wise men left Jerusalem.

"There it is again! The star that showed us that the King of the Jews was born."

The men from Babylon were so happy when they saw the star.
Imagine! The star went before them in the sky and showed them the way to Bethlehem.

Directly over a certain house, the star stayed put. For in this house, Mary and Joseph lived with the baby Jesus.

They went into the house and found Mary and Joseph. And with their own eyes they saw baby Jesus, the King whom God had sent.

Amazed, they bowed before Jesus and worshiped Him.
They wanted to belong to Him; He was to be their King and rule in their lives.

Is Jesus your King also? Is He allowed to guide you throughout your life?
There is nothing better for you and me in the whole world than to have Jesus be King of our lives.

The wise men belonged to Him. They unpacked their gifts – they were so thankful! Gold and costly perfume and incense were their gifts for the eternal King.

The most precious gift that we have to give Him is our lives. Whoever gives his or her life to Jesus will be greatly rewarded.
