We Have Seen His Glory: Part 6, Seek Him
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow
Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 NIV
In this world there are
things we desire and things we need. Houses, clothing, food, and transportation
all fall under the category of “things.” Things are not evil or sinful but they
are temporary. They have no eternal value. The gifts we unwrap at Christmas
will one day find their way to a trash bag or a yard-sale table. The wise men
from the East knew the difference between what was temporal and what was
eternal. They left their homes and families to seek the Pearl of Greatest
Price. They wanted to see and know for themselves the Eternal Word that became
flesh and dwelt among us.
The value of finding Jesus
Christ is beyond measure. His worth is more than a field filled with diamonds,
He is a limitless treasure chest of priceless gems and precious stones; He is
more than a mineshaft filled with gold nuggets, He is an endless vein of pure
gold. His splendor is more glorious than a thousand sunsets, and His majesty is
nobler than all the kings who have ever reigned. His grace is greater
than our arms can embrace, His beauty is more than our eyes can behold, His
love is deeper than our hearts can explore. How truly great is the reward of
the one who seeks Him.
