Behold: The Gift God Wants

Behold: The Gift God Wants

Matthew 2:1-12, Galatians 2:20 

The Magi were foreigners from far away, yet God called them to come and behold Jesus’ birth. This was a sign that God wants everyone and that the gospel would one day go global.  The Magi brought gifts to Jesus as signs of their faith, but the greatest gift they gave Him was their lives.  Jesus wants us and calls us to give Him our lives as well. 

Behold

To “behold” is to pay special attention to something, to look deeply at it so as to notice the depth and detail beyond what you might simply see on the surface.  The Advent and Christmas seasons are a time to behold the birth of Christ.  With this series, we will focus on Jesus’ birth, seeking to behold it and its meaning with depth and detail as we walk through the scriptures that tell that story and explore how faith enables us to receive, see, and experience some of the amazing gifts of God that Jesus brings us.
