Bible Reading: Matthew 2:1-12

“1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,

6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come to a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.

8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.

10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.

11 And when they have come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.”

Firstly, I great you Happy Christmas in Jesus name. Today a unique and special and historic day in the history of humanity. It is a day that the Saviour of the entire world was born through a virgin Mary. The celebration of Christmas is not a new thing to many people; however, it is a day that worthy to be celebrated. This year's Christmas celebration is focused on “Search Diligently for Jesus Christ – the Saviour of the world.” Is the expectation of God from you.

“And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and SEARCH DILIGENTLY FOR THE YOUNG CHILD; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.” Matthew 2:8

The best and acceptable thing requires from everyone that celebrates this year's Christmas is searching diligently for Jesus Christ the ONE that was born to save us from all our sins.

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21

To search diligently means to look after, to watch over, eager, etc. When you search diligently, it also means you are punctual, self-motivation, steady, earnest, and energetic effort, and perseverance without complaining. Besides, it also means demonstrate an eagerness to see, understand, and learn new things to improve personal skill sets.

However, one of the traits that many people mostly Christians have lost in this generation is searching diligently for Jesus Christ. Even as we are celebrating Christmas, people are distracted from searching for Jesus Christ due to distractions elements around the world like social media, bad news from TV, Radio and newspapers, entertainment, bad company, celebration, worldly affairs, mobile games, internet, etc.

How can you search diligently for Jesus Christ?

• Seek God first – Matthew 6:33
• Search for Him early – Psalm 63:1
• Study the Holy Bible daily – Joshua 1:18
• Set your mind on things above – Colossians 3:1
• Shun procrastination
• Say no to pleasure and worldly affairs
• Sacrifice your time and give the best in everything you do to give glory to God - Colossians 3:23 

The outcome of Search diligently for Jesus Christ.

• If you search diligently for Jesus Christ, surely you will be found Him - Deuteronomy 4:29, Proverbs 8:17
• He will enrich you with divine virtues.
• He will empower you for greatness.
• He will decorate you with His glory and put your first in His plan.
• He will handover His treasures unto you.
• He will turn away your captivity.

“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.” Jeremiah 29:13-14

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

Remember, there is time you can search for Him, “Seek the Lord while He may be found…” Isaiah 55:6 And this can only happen when you are still alive. No death can search for Jesus.  That’s, after death, you cannot repent, or ask forgiveness.
