Come and Worship the New Born King!


                                 

  True Worship

True worship is absolute surrender of one's spirit, soul and body to The One Who has all authority over his/her life. Soul comprises of will, intellect and emotion.

True worship is the response of a person when he connects with his Creator God.

True worship originates in the spirit of man which connects with God. Then it proceeds to the soul and body, bringing him to the posture of kneeling, bowing down and prostrating himself before God.

Do I choose to worship my Creator and Redeemer?
If I am wise, I will sincerely and diligently seek Him Who is The Truth, so that I may worship Him.

Matthew 2:1-2
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,
saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him."

Matthew 2:11-12 
 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Then, being divinely warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed for their own country another way.

The wise men probably spent over a year travelling to Bethlehem. The decision they made, to visit the new born King of the Jews was a major one. 
What was the purpose?
 was it simply to worship Him
and to offer gifts to Him?
Worship is not simple. It means offering yourself.
Then they offered gifts which were symbols of their spirit, soul and body.
Was it worth all the time and effort spent on their mission?
Of course not, if their worship was just an act which lasted a few minutes and if they returned all the way back the same way!
That would have been foolishness:
But they were wise men. 
Visiting and worshipping the new born King of the Jews meant everything to them. They knew that their lives would be changed eternally if they worshipped Him!
Yes, they worshipped and 'departed for their own country another way'!!
That is true worship.
Your life will be eternally changed every time you worship in spirit and in truth.
May we so worship JESUS CHRIST this CHRISTMAS.
