After celebrating 18 Christmases, I thought the 19th one would not be very different from the rest. But I was wrong. Despite having the knowledge of Christ’s birth, I realized I was stuck at a stage, one without much meditation.
I know that the centre of attention of Christmas is Jesus, but this year what probed my mind was the attitude of the Magi from the east. I believe they have come a long way to seek Jesus. They didn’t go on a journey empty handed. They traveled with ‘gifts of gold, incense and myrrh’. Quite a lot of weight isn’t it? (I seem to be more sensitive to weight after my fast marches). So, if we were the Magi from the east will we continue to march towards Christ the Lord even if we do not know when we will reach there? Are we willing to go the extra mile to seek the Lord?
Let this post be a reminder for us to seek the Lord despite the trials and challenges in life.

This question actually struck me too when I watched "The Promise". and I highly doubt there will be people in today's world who will do the same thing as the magi did. One possible reason I would think is the unbelief that is hidden deep in our hearts. If that is the case, it would truly call for true and serious concern...
