Joy

Overwhelming Joy in Finding

When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

Matthew 2:10

· · ·

When the star stopped over the place where the child was, the Magi experienced exceeding great joy.

After a long journey following the star, the Magi's joy overflowed when they finally found the King they sought. Their response models authentic worship: joy that leads to costly giving and humble adoration. These Gentile scholars recognized Jesus as King when His own people largely missed Him. Finding Christ always produces overwhelming joy.

For Today

Reflect on your own journey to Christ and let gratitude for finding Him renew your joy today.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, King of kings, we rejoice with exceeding great joy that we have found You—or rather, that You found us. Receive our worship and gifts. Amen.
