"Following the Right One"
Reading: Matthew 1-5
Text: Matthew 2.1-2
In every century since the birth of Christ, the wise have
sought Jesus. The Wise Men followed the star God set in the heavens to lead
them to the babe. Since that time, wise
people have followed the Bible that has been set before us to guide all us to
Christ. If the Magi had followed another
star, they would not have found the child they sought. If we follow some way other than the Bible,
we will find a different God than the One we seek.
Unfortunately, there are those who would lead us away
from Christ and God. It would be
impossible to know all the reasons or beliefs that people have in leading us
away from God. However, we can know the
right way and the right motivations for finding and following Christ. The Bible leads us to Him and instructs us what
to do when we find Him. No other way is
right or safe.
Jesus and His disciples used the word "beware"
often to warn of the deeds of those who wished to overthrow the kingdom of
God. Beware the scribes and Pharisees,
beware men who will deliver you over to be flogged, beware the leaven of the
Pharisees, beware false prophets, and on the list goes.
When we find the way to Jesus let us guard it, keep it
pure, and share it with others. -TM
