When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
We don’t have a star in the sky, but we have God’s Word to bring us to Christ. Oh, let us rejoice “with exceeding great joy” that God has given us “a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path;” and may the light of God’s Word daily bring us to the place where we fall down and worship Jesus. During this new year, let us open the treasures given us and use them for God’s glory.
