The Road of The Magi

Sunday, July 24, 2022

The Magi were Persian priests of a strange religion called Zoroastrianism. They were pagans heavily into the occult. They were the ones who found Messiah because they were seeking God. The Jewish priests and leaders knew about God, but they were heading away from God. It's not your position or your past that matters. The Magi were in a bad position with the occult, but they were heading in the right direction for the Lord. The leadership of Israel was in a good position knowing scriptures, but heading away from God. Better is the non-believer turning to the Lord than the one who knows all about God and turns away. Better is the carnal believer who repents turning to full devotion than the one turning cold. Are you seeking God or did you stop? Paul said "I daily beat my body, lest after preaching to others I become a castaway. Forgetting what lies behind, I press on." He started out every day as if he were a new believer in the Lord. Have the same attitude of a new believer. Seek God again as you first did. It's the road of the Magi.
