Grace for you today !
Beholding Jesus is receiving His understanding of the spiritual realities!
“Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.””
Matthew 2:1-2 NKJV
The wise men from the East had the knowledge of God’s will and the understanding of His timing concerning the birth of the savior.
They were not Jews but had a simple belief in One True God. For God puts in every human, the knowledge of His will (“since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them.” Romans 1:19 NIV). When men seek after God’s will, they are given the grace to know Him further that is the time of performance of His will. For this reason, they were known as the wise men.
Although they were given the wisdom of His Will, yet they still needed another dimension of His Will – the Spiritual understanding!
We know that they lacked this spiritual understanding because they were seeking for the King of the Jews in Jerusalem where the kings reside, which is all correct because kings dwell in palaces. They didn’t have the spiritual understanding of God’s Word as mentioned in the book of Micah that the Messiah will be born in Bethlehem and not in the palace.
My beloved, the Holy Spirit alone can grant you that spiritual understanding. This is the spiritual understanding and not the natural reasoning. When the Holy Spirit comes He will direct you to God’s Word as revealed in the Holy Scriptures to have this understanding.
“_Holy Father, fill me with the knowledge of Your Will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Fill and baptize me with the Holy Spirit that I may be enlightened with the spiritual realities which are unseen to the human eyes, ears and human perception, in Jesus name _“. Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
