Looking For The King

[GRACE_ambassador]

Precious friends, please be Very Richly Encouraged And Edified In this scenario
of 'Precious 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.

“Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the​

king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem” (Matt. 2:1).​

​

After the birth of The Lord Jesus Christ (Matt. 1:18-25), travelers from the East
came to Jerusalem..." (J Tollar)

Full study:

Looking For The King!



Precious Lord Jesus, With Your Wonderful Help, may we be faithful as well. Amen.

Where Is The Word Of God Today?

Had the jews understood the text they were given they would have recognized who it was that was in their midst and they should have been looking for their king to begin with however no one did surprisingly

I agree we should look for the King. Jesus.

The curse God put on the world after Adam and Eve sinned was not to be mean but to help humans to restrain their selfishness enough to help each other and seek after God. Instead people indulged themselves in evil continuously.

God made this even more difficult after the flood with a shorter life span and vulnerability to disease. The environment was made much more difficult with things like winter and scarcity of water. This was sufficient to make some open to considering our need of God until the Industrial Revolution. Today we are perhaps even more comfortable that those before the flood.As a result, many are increasingly indulging themselves in evil continuously.

Those of Israel had found a comfortable complacency that allowed most to be disinterested in their Messiah. We might see that this condition is increasing today.

Believe, see, and love all in truth of God's Love, not any of my own or anyone else's. Everything is futile under the sun, unless Daddy, Father, PaPa leads thee. I see Galatians 6:1-9 an eye opener, after going through my own personal flesh nature first. The Son, Jesus the way, the Truth and the New Life offered in the risen Life, after death reconciled us all first, whether believe God Father in risen Son or not yet, Reconciliation is the message to us all 2 Cor 5:16-22, noting this, we once knew him (Jesus) in the flesh, today no more Only in Spirit and Truth as I am in process as many others are too, Many, still are, so start with belief too, thank you. Personally Believe God and not be eye service any more. Then the new leads in love and mercy through you to all too, humbly so. To me at least as I am learning new daily in God's love and mercy to all, for all too, thank you Father and Son as Won for us all!
Thank you Grace Ambassador for continued beleif, no matter what

Adam the second, Jesus and the Son to form us all in his risen Life, top see not to imitate his walk, that is done for use as perfect to us all, to beleive and begin new, in love. and mercy to all too, for me at least. I know see, First and foremost for anyone to let go of the self, (Phil 3) That, is me, I am still in process and not perfect at trust perfectly to God Father only, as Jesus was and is. I see to stand in trust, no matter what! Col 1:21-23 and watch God's mysterious ways keep unfolding and taking care of his for sure, Adfter going through things Like Job in the book of Job, not ever giving up. No denying God. Yet through troubles I have gone through feelings that tried to get me to deny God, Can't Thanks
Seeing it is thoughts that can be a thief as in John 10:10a
