This morning I spent some time reading a Christmas story called, "The Other Wise Man." I've read it before, but it had been several years. Its an amazing fictional story about another Magi who was left behind by the main group of Matthew 2. He spends the rest of his days trying to find "the King", yet using up all his gifts for the Messiah to do good for the needy he meets along the way. After 33+ years, the other wise man arrives in Jerusalem, and....Well, find the story and read it for yourself this Christmas! It was written by Henry Van Dyke, and is a beautiful story of what true devotion to Christ is- love for Him that shows itself in love for those who need Him. Christmas- God gave us His Son, Jesus gave us His life, and we must give of ourselves for those we can help.
"...whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did it for Me." Matthew 25: 34-40
Merry Christmas!
