The story of the Magi visiting Jesus reminds us who we seek and who we worship. The Magi who came from the East were not Jews, rather Gentiles, who sought to worship the King of the Jews. They followed the star to find the child. They bowed down, worshipped him, and gave him gifts. Just as the Magi sought and worshiped, who is it we seek and worship. The concept of lord is not widely used in our culture, yet is very much a part of our God who does not give up is. “Lord” is mentioned over 600 times in the New Testament to describe Jesus. A lord has authority over a person’s life. There is much that contends for authority over our lives. The one who came to be with us, our King, Savior, Emmanuel, and Light, is also our Lord, our authority, the one for whom we seek and worship. As we enter a new year, may we seek and worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by serving others, growing in faith, and sharing Christ. May we choose this year, one day at a time, to seek and worship as the Magi, declaring that Jesus is our Lord through, offering up all of us to the God who never gives up.
