Empty the Jar at Christmas
Ready for the Journey
Matthew 2:1-2
I believe he did this to bring the point home that Jesus is for all of mankind.
The Persian wise men of their time likely learned about prophecies like Numbers 24:17.
Many had heard the shepherds declare that they had seen the messiah and were filled with wonder.
Again, I believe God had a greater purpose in sending the wise men and having Matthew include them in his gospel message.
And that is what some of you were. But…that’s the part that matters–who you are now.
Empty the jar–it’s about holding nothing back from God as we worship Him.
