Thursday
Micah 5:2-5; Revelation 7:9-10
The Magi came from Persia—foreigners, outsiders to the Jewish covenant. Yet they were among the first to worship Jesus. This reveals something profound: Jesus' kingdom would not remain local or tribal. His reign would be global, transcending every human boundary.
From His birth, Jesus demonstrated that His kingdom welcomes all who seek Him. No one is too far away, too different, or too broken to approach the King. The shepherds represented the lowly and despised; the Magi represented the educated and powerful. Both found their place at Jesus' feet.
Where do you fit in God's kingdom? Perhaps you feel like an outsider, unworthy to approach Him. The Christmas story declares otherwise. Jesus came for you. His throne room is open to all who will bow before Him in worship. Today, thank God that His love knows no boundaries, and His invitation extends to every person, including you. Consider who in your life needs to hear this good news.
