Reflections on Christmas from Revelation chapter 16 in the shadow of the Cloth Market in the Rynek Glowny, market square of the Stare Miasto Krakow - JS Gillespie

There's nothing wrong with seeking a solid foundation for faith. When God revealed Himself in the incarnation of Jesus Christ , He certainly anticipated skeptical questions from enquiring minds. Backing up the revelation of Jesus lay 2000 years of ancient prophecies, detailing every aspect of His birth, His life, His death and His incarnation. Even Joseph and the apostle Paul needed the solid foundation of evidence and proof before leaning their entire destiny on Jesus. That weight of evidence is there to be discovered for the enquiring mind as we read through the pages of ancient scripture. Seek, find and believe. The finding and the believing is infinitely worth the seeking.

It had been a long way, a tough trek but finally they found Him.

He was not only a baby

He was not only a King

He is the eternal God

This was the moment that the eternal came into time.

This was the moment the Divine revealed Himself to humanity by humanity.

Many have travelled the long road to Jesus, a path that revealed the sinfulness of self, the hopelessness of life without Jesus, the futility of a world without God. To finally find Him at the end of such a long road, brought joy pure joy for all of the wise men; as we can be too!
