And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, [the wise men] departed to their own country by another way (Matthew 2:12).
Now, I don’t know what happened to these wise men. They enter and exit the biblical story very quickly. But my conviction is that the same God who led these wise men from the far country to Bethlehem also led them thereafter and transformed their lives.
But here’s the truth: What the wise men saw in the stars and in Bethlehem prompted worship of the Lord Jesus. And I believe that’s where their truth journey led them and their lives were never the same again. I think the light was turned on in their lives and they became new creations.
When you encounter the truth of Christ, you will be transformed. Your life will take on a new direction. These magi went home another way – I think that means both geographically and spiritually. New life in Christ takes on a whole new direction, a way of spiritual transformation.
I don’t believe in accidents. It wasn’t an accident these men came to meet young Jesus and it’s not an accident you’re reading these words today. I want to tell you that wherever you are, you can become a different person right now. The truth of Christ is a truth that sets you free. And if you’ll trust in Him today, your life will begin a brand-new path!
TRUST IN THE WORK OF CHRIST TODAY FOR FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS AND BEGIN A NEW PATH IN LIFE!
