"THE MAGI - JOURNEY GENEROUSLY"

Rev. Lon Lorton

December 1, 2019

Matthew 2:1-12

The Magi were the only humans involved throughout the Advent story from beginning to end.

They watched for a star

• so they could follow it,
• so they could worship.

Why were others not able to see?

• Do you choose to walk in darkness or in light?

Our purpose is to see new,

• to walk in His light,
• to journey from our dark places.

Can you imagine the Magi's excitement?

• Should they have anything on us in the area of excitement?

The Magi saw what others who were looking did not see.

• They opened their hearts and followed.
• Their end game was simply to worship.

Is there anything we can get this year that is new?

• It depends on the kind of journey we are willing to take.
