TIM Good morning. I’m Tim Wise, Senior Adult Minister and Sanctuary Choir Director at Central. Matthew 2:9-11 says: “The star they had seen in the East went ahead of them until it stood over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were filled with joy. They entered the house and saw the child with Mary, his mother. Falling to their knees, they honored him. Then they opened their treasure chests and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.” I want to encourage you to follow the star to Jesus. Just like the wise men, you will be overwhelmed with great joy! What gifts do you have to bring this newborn king? You can bring him your heart. I leave you with the fifth verse of this Christina Rossetti poem: “What can I give Him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb. If I were a wise man, I would do my part. Yet, what can I give Him: give my heart.”
