"Where is He Who has Been Born King"

The Bible tells us that the wise men asked, "Where is He who has been born King?" (Matthew 2:2). That’s a good question to ask ourselves this Christmas day—where is Jesus Christ in our lives? Are we living for Him? Is He a priority or have we put that relationship in a corner of a darkened closet, out of sight? He is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, but is He truly reigning in your life this Christmas?

As this Christmas comes to a conclusion, let us remember that God sent His Son to the world. Born in a manger and later persecuted and killed, so we might live. Today, as it has been in the past, and will be in the future, countless Christians around the world are persecuted for the sake of the Christ we worship. Our brothers and sisters often feel isolated and alone, as they courageously suffer so much for walking in the footsteps of Jesus. Undeniably maltreatment, harassment and oppression are a Christian’s everyday reality in much of the world. Many followers of Christ were persecuted yesterday, the same persecutions will again transpire today and unfortunately continue tomorrow. Through prayer, word of mouth and giving of yourself, let them know that they will never walk alone.

Come to Him today, bow before Him, and let Him restore your soul. Remember, wise men sought him in the past, they seek him in the present and will continue pursuing him long after this day ends.
