Advent 2022 – Day 16: Matthew 2:3-5
When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet“
Matthew 2:3-5, ESV
At Advent, we look back at why Jesus had to come, that He came, and then that He will come again.
Our sins have stacked up to heaven, deeper and more vile than we could know.
But God was not willing to leave us mired in our sin.
God came to us, born as an infant, weak, physically powerless, yet without sin.
And wise men came to see this miracle, to give honor and gifts.
Most people miss that our Lord has come to be with us as one of us.
We often still ignore Him.
Yet, God came to us, showing us that even in our ignorance He comes after us.
We may not have much to offer but our sin, and maybe we have great wealth and/or skills to give, but only the wisest seek God who has come.
May we seek the Lord who grants wisdom to the lowly and grace to the humble.
