The search ends for the wise men

Wisemen searching for Truth
They were the wise men for the people around them; they were young, highly educated, lived two millenniums ago in the Far East; they were like today’s NASA astronomers. People around them thought that they had all knowledge. But they were continually searching to know the truth. They don’t just follow what others believe and say, they think because they were wise men. During their meetings they would ask and confront themselves with genuine questions like who we are? What is the purpose of life? What happens after death? Is there no purpose of this life after death? Etc.
They started asking questions to elders in the town, the elders said we all are just born, we should work hard, and then marry, and then we will have children, enjoy the life as we like, then we will have grand children and we will all die one day. The wise men asked the elder then what happens after we die? Elders replied that’s all, this is what I see in my entire life in this world, and this is what happening from the beginning. These wise men were so puzzled because they cannot believe that life came in to this world just like that. They cannot accept the brilliantly organized world which they studied all through their lives; which has perfect laws can come in to existence just like that. So they started their Journey to find the truth.
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. Romans 1:20
The wise men closed their eyes for the world below and started seeing above them, they saw the glorious vast sky, and spectacular shining stars, analyzed them very closely day after day for many years.
They first found out that the creation declares God’s Glory
One day they saw a magnificent star in the heaven which is not like any other star they have seen in their life time and it was different and unique one of a kind. Their previous records said that extraordinary stars appear when very important things happen in this earth like when a King is born they appear. This is recorded in the Bible in Matthew 2:1-12
“We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” Matthew 2:2
They searched – If you search God you will find
The Bible records this star moved and in their quench for truth they followed it and it led them to the place of an ordinary manger in the city of Bethlehem. They traveled many days following that unique star, crossing mountains, rivers, deserts to know the truth.
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13
They found the savior of the World in an unusual place
In that small town of Bethlehem, There they saw a little child with their young parents. So they were standing still amazed because this King was not born on a palace but on the small manger among the sounds of sheep’s and cows. Suddenly there entered a group of shepherds with great shouts of Joy asking “Where is the Savior! Where is the Savior of the world?!” And when they saw this little baby they worshipped him.
“On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary,…” – Matthew 2:11
The wise men asked one of the shepherds, how do you know that this is the savior of the world? The shepherd said with great joy in his face that while in the night they were watching over their sheep’s, suddenly an Angel appeared and proclaimed
“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” Luke 2:9-12
They presented themselves and got Salvation, Joy and eternal Peace
“And they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh.” – Matthew 2:11
When they heard this great news from these ordinary shepherds they humbled and accepted Jesus as their king and savior who was just born and opened their treasure boxes and presented precious gifts. They at last bowed down and presented themselves to King Jesus and received answers for all their confusions.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:6-7
My dear friends you may be today wandering without peace, without answers for who we are?, what is the purpose of life? And is there life after death? Today I want to present this Good News to you, this world did not come in to existence by chance and we are not in this world by chance. We are created by a very loving creator. God created man kind to love and have fellowship with him. He placed you and me in this world to enjoy all its Glory. The Bible says we sinned against God. God who created everything with perfect laws and Justice cannot fellowship with Mankind so we are separated from him. But the loving God sent his only Son Jesus Christ in to this world to die for you and me to pay the penalty for our sins and opened another opportunity to fellowship with him again.
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16
Bible says we will have eternal life with our creator God if we accept his son as our Savior.
Yes, the search ends for the wise men… What about you?
Prayer:
Dear Jesus, I accept you as my savior and Lord. I accept I am a sinner, Please forgive my sins. Thank you for dying for me on the cross and paying the price for my sins. Help me to live a Holy Life from today onwards.
Amen
God Bless You
