This Advent message invites us to rediscover the place of awe and wonder in our faith through the story of the Magi in Matthew 2. As Jesus is first named King, we see three very different responses to His authority—fear, familiarity, and worship. Herod clings to control, the religious leaders settle for knowledge without movement, and the Magi follow the light with open hearts. In a world that prizes certainty, control, and information, this message reminds us that faith is sustained not by fear or familiarity, but by wonder. Awe opens us to joy. Wonder leads us to worship. And worship forms a faith that is alive, joyful, and deeply rooted in the goodness of God. As Christmas approaches, we’re invited to make room again—to look up, follow the light, and remember that God has come near.
