Precious friends, Please Be Very Richly Encouraged, Edified, and 'Elevated' from the beginning,
with these precious 'faithful Gentile' seekers:
"The Christmas season is the time of year when many set up a nativity scene. Most nativity sets include
the shepherds and the wise men bringing gifts. However, Scripture clearly shows that the visit from the
wise men took place well after the birth of Christ, and after traveling a great distance to worship the One
born “King of the Jews.”
These Gentiles had done something that the nation of Israel should have been doing: looking to
the prophetic Scriptures and understanding that their Messiah, Christ the King, was in their midst.
In Luke 2:25-38, we read about Simeon and Anna, both of whom had been looking for the Messiah,
and God answered their prayers. But it’s in Matthew’s Gospel that we read about a group of faithful
Gentiles who were looking for the King.
After the birth of The Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 1:18-25), travelers from the East came to Jerusalem..."

Full study:
Looking For The King!
Precious Lord Jesus, With Your Wonderful Help, may we be faithful as well. Amen:
