The Vineyard- December 28, 2014


The Vineyard

I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

 

Matthew 2:1-12

Pray that God will speak to you through the reading of His word.

-          Seek Jesus

o   The wise men devote a lot of time, energy, and resources to seek out Jesus.  How much time, energy, and resource do you devote to seeking Jesus? 

-          Worship Jesus

o   The wise men present Jesus with precious gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, gifts that were fit for a king.  What gifts do we present to Jesus?  Do we offer him the best of what we have, or does he get the leftovers?

-          Loyalty to Jesus

o   Herod asks the wise men to return and tell him where the Christ child is, so that he to can worship him.  God warns them that Herod’s motives are sinister, so they take a different route.  Are we loyal to Christ when the world is hostile towards Him?
