THE REASON WE COME
Today's reading: Matthew 1-2
"Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We have seen his star as it arose, and we have come to worship him." Matthew 2:2 NLT
Let's be honest, there are many reasons people want to get close to Jesus...
We hope to 'get some' on us, like rubbing a lucky rabbit's foot.
We hope to be close enough to see it, it's the fear of missing out drive within us.
We want to get a little of Him for ourselves, like lottery winners who overnight have more family and friends than they ever had before.
We want to be a part, well as much as we can without giving up too much.
We want to add another line to our obituary, being involved is important to all of us.
But how many of us see God at work and scooch in a little closer, just to be able to worship?
To be in a position where we can lift our hands and sing, I see You there!
To be on our knees speaking praise to His name!
To be in it, near it, touched by it, around it--but only care about the glory He receives from it!
What's the reason you come close to Jesus?
