That little phrase" fully come" means," filled to overflowing" in the original language. When time had reached its critical mass, Jesus was born. </span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The fact of Jesus coming into this world is not just a message that we remember once a year at Christmas time; its implications are with us ever day of every year of our lives. When Jesus was first born in that manger that starry night, there were three basic responses to His birth, and as human nature does not change we see these three same responses in people today towards the birth of the Saviour.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Firstly</strong> there is Herod's response.<i> What was that?</i></span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Herod's response was one of fear, of outright hostility to the news of the birth of Christ. History tells us that Herod was a tyrant who murdered his wife, mother in law and three of his sons. Anyone who challenged his tyrannical rule ,his ego, his ambitions was ruthlessly dispatched. Herod was afraid that this little child born as king was going to interfere with his life, his place his power, his influence and thus his fear fueled his hatred, and in his hatred he sought to destroy the Christ child. Sadly today there are those who are afraid of what following Christ may mean, they want to live their own lives and go their own way without any interference from anyone telling them what to do, least of all God. But as a wise man once said," If Christ is not Lord of all in our lives then he is not Lord at all"</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">There is no tokenism with following Christ.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>Secondly</strong> there was the response of the religious establishment embodied in the Pharisees and Sadducees. <i>What was that?</i></span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">One of complete indifference. Jesus meant nothing to them. The night that He was born they saw no star in the sky, saw no Glory, heard no angels’ choir singing in praise of the Saviour's birth. They simply continued on engrossed in their religious rituals and ceremonies.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">How many people in our world today go about their daily lives engrossed in the affairs of life and the things of this world and the most important event in human history that split history in two, before and after the birth of Christ, BC and AD, this event means absolutely nothing to them at all?</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">But <strong>lastly</strong> there is a <strong>third</strong> response, that of the shepherds and that of the wise men. That was the response of a seeking heart.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">They came to see Jesus guided by the hand of God Himself. Their seeking was not motivated by vain speculation or mere curiosity. Rather they came to seek and to find, and finding to believe and believing to fall down at Jesus' feet and to worship.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">William Barclay once said: "We do well to remember that Jesus Christ is King. We can never meet Jesus on an equality. We must always meet Jesus on terms of complete submission."</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Nelson the great Naval Admiral had a reputation for always treating his vanquished opponents with courtesy and respect. After one famous naval victory, the defeated admiral was brought aboard Nelson's flagship and to Nelson's quarterdeck. Knowing Nelson's reputation for courtesy and thinking to capitalise upon it he advanced across the quarterdeck with hand outstretched as if he was advancing to shake hands with an equal. Nelson's hand remained by his side.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">"Your sword first," he said "and then your hand". Before we desire to be friends with Christ, we must submit to Christ.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">In this new year may we seek to emulate those first wise men: they came to seek and find and worship.</span></p> <p lang="en-GB"><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 12pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">May we also seek Him whom to know is life eternal and once we have found Christ to press on to know Him more and to worship Him with greater adoration and awe.</span></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="clearfix"></div> <div aria-label="breadcrumbs" role="navigation"> <ul itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/BreadcrumbList" class="breadcrumb"> <li> You are here:   </li> <li itemprop="itemListElement" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ListItem" class="active"> <span itemprop="name"> Home </span> <meta itemprop="position" content="1"> </li> </ul> </div> <!-- End Content --> </main> <div id="aside" class="span3"> <!-- Begin Right Sidebar --> <div class="well "><h3 class="page-header">Westgate Chapel Wayside Pulpit</h3><div class="bannergroup"> <div class="banneritem"> <img src="http://westgateevangelicalchapel.org/images/banners/Posters/Newyear-forgetting-what-lies-behind.png" alt="Newyear forgetting what lies behind" width ="200" /> <div class="clr"></div> </div> <div class="bannerfooter"> _________________________ Our Wayside Pulpit posters are purchased from CPO.
