What Gift Can We Bring?

The journey of the Magi reveals what genuine faith looks like in action. Willing to travel great distances, they sought Jesus, worshiped Him as King, and offered gifts that were meaningful and costly. Their story invites us to examine whether our own actions reflect what we say we believe. As we consider the significance of Christmas, we are challenged to think about what we are offering Jesus - our time, trust, obedience, and wholehearted devotion.
