WHERE IS THE NEWBORN KING OF THE JEWS?

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. Herod was deeply disturbed by their question, as was all of Jerusalem." Matthew 2:2-3 NLT

The magi were wondering where the new king was, so they could worship him.

Few knew.

The politicians didn't know.

The religious elite going through their routines in the Temple didn't know.

The money-makers in the market place didn't know.

Could the same be said today?

Church, do we know where Jesus is?

Has He been packed up and placed in our storage closets until the nativity scene is dragged out again next Christmas?

Has He been pushed aside for more politically correct issues, responses or preferences?

Has He been sold out for convenience? For status? For entertainment?

Has He been removed from our pews, our worship services, our small groups, our evangelistic outreaches?

Church, just where is the newborn King--in your life?
