And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary HIS mother, and fell down and worshiped HIM. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to HIM: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
- Matthew 2: 11
The wise men fell down to worship JESUS. Don’t forget that The LORD was a Child at that time. A tender Child. The men were acting on the word they heard – what angels told them. They had seen no miracles. Neither Joseph nor Mary told them anything about the Child. They worshipped HIM because they believed GOD. There was nothing supernatural in that manger. Who knows whether The LORD was awake or asleep when they got in there. If HE looked into their eyes, they sure must have been greatly blessed. Note that as tired as those dear men were, they prostrated in worship to JESUS. The JESUS they saw and worshipped was a Child, but The LORD is exalted and enthroned now.
Ours is the risen CHRIST, The Conqueror and Captain of our Salvation, our Intercessor, The ALPHA and OMEGA, the Great I Am. How do you think we should worship HIM? Should we take things easy? Should we be careful of being too old fashioned? The four and twenty elders fall down in worship to The LORD. The Heavenly hosts worship GOD ceaselessly. Do you think you are doing enough when it comes to worship?
A man who would show no excitement in church had an experience that was really revealing. Before then, he portrayed himself as someone who did not have the ability to express emotions. But on the day armed men entered his flat for robbery, he became another man. He was more expressive of fear then his wife could have ever imagined. Even his children and others that were present were shocked that he cried like a baby and begged the robbers to have mercy. He even went flat on the floor to honour them. What faith could not get out of him, fear produced. Worship JESUS with everything you have. The grace is in you. Let it out.
