Please read Genesis 43.

Meditate on verse 26.
When Joseph came home,
they brought into the house to him the present
which was in their hand and
bowed to the ground before him.
After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother;
and they fell to the ground and
worshiped Him.
Then opening their treasure,
they presented to Him gifts of
gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
—Matthew 2:11
Cleopas and
his friend on the road to Emmaus with Jesus must have smiled when Christ
explained this part of Genesis to them (Luke 24:18, 27). The brothers bringing
presents and bowing to Joseph foreshadowed the wise men coming to worship
Christ.
Every part
of the Bible is perfectly written by God Himself in order to reveal Himself as
Jesus Christ, the only Way, the only Truth, and the only Life. Jesus explained
Himself as revealed in ALL the Old Testament Scriptures (Luke 24:27). Philip
began with the Old Testament passage the Ethiopian was reading and preached
Jesus (Acts 8:35). Paul reasoned with people from the Old Testament Scriptures
explaining and giving evidence that Jesus is the Messiah (Acts 17:2-3).
If you are
not already a studier of the Bible, the entire Bible, I hope this year long
treasure hunt of God’s Word has given you a hunger to dig deeper and know God’s
Word better. Knowing Jesus through the revelation of Himself on every page of
the Bible will make you a wise person. In that God-given wisdom, you, too, will
bow before your Savior giving Him the gift of your life.
Merry
Christmas! Worship your Immanuel, God with us!
Pray Genesis
43:26 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful
watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, I
give You everything I am holding in my hand.
Please
let _________ do the same.
I bow
before You, Jesus, today and for the rest of eternity.
Because
of Your name, Jesus~”
