And this shall
be a sign unto you;
Ye shall find
the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes
lying in a
manger. Luke 2:12
“Ye shall find
the babe …”
We’re all
familiar with those words, especially during the Christmas season. An angel
appeared to unsuspecting shepherds and told them of the miracle. They left
their flocks, followed the star, and found the baby Jesus, just as the angel
said.
A popular song
tells us that “wise men still seek Him.” From the beginning of time, men and
women have looked for the promised Messiah. But He is no longer “wrapped in
swaddling clothes lying in a manger.” He is now seated at the Father’s right
hand, ever making intercession for his beloved children.
Most people
are never more aware of the Lord of Lords than at Christmastime. But we must
still continue to pursue Him. Luke 11:8-10 says, “Ask and it
will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be
opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds;
and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened (NIV)."
During this wonderful
season, seek Him with all your heart, your soul, and your mind …
… and ye shall
find Him.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
