“And they came into the house and saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell down and worshiped Him; and opening their treasures they presented to Him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.” Matthew 2:11
“...and they fell down and worshiped Him.” The Greek word here is ‘proskuneo.’ It means to bow down, to reverence, to pay homage. Remember, these are Magi from the east, Gentiles, pagans to the Jews, and Infidels. But take note - they are the ones who came seeking Christ and when they found Him they worshiped Him.
You want to have a winning Christmas -
Keep Christ first.
Practice thoughtful worship.
A winning Christmas season includes worship where we give ourselves to Christ and then give our gifts to Christ. Jesus is our King, Priest, and through His death, our Savior.
There are just too many people who go to church and simply go through the motions, do the religious thing, give an hour to God, but they never worship. Worship isn’t about you - it’s about Him! If we truly are coming to worship the Lord Jesus Christ, then the weather shouldn’t stop us, a football game shouldn’t stop us, or any other excuse. He alone is worthy. He is worthy of our love, praise, adoration and worship. Don’t go to church to put your time in - go to worship Him with a heart full of praise and a hunger to hear from Him. If you go with the right attitude, you will leave with a better one. O come let us adore Him, O come let us a adore Him, O come let us adore Him - Christ, the Lord.
