A different way.

When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down, and worshipped Him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto Him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. (Matthew 2:9-12)

When the wise men came some time after the original Christmas night, they came into the house and worshiped Jesus.  They bowed before Him and presented their gifts; gifts that represented His ministry and purpose as well as being practical for His escape and journey.  They didn't know about that part, but GOD did.  And after they left the house they went home a different way.  Everyone who has an honest repentant encounter with the Living GOD has left a different way.  No one can be in His presence and remain the same as he was before.  If you have truly met the Lord Jesus the choice is before you; surrender to Him on His terms or reject the gift He offers in the sacrifice of His dear Son.

He calls all of us to receive Him and be born again, even telling us that without it we cannot understand the things of GOD.  Believe Him today and be saved.

If you are already one of His, share His Love with others that they might live.

In Christ,
