Joy to the World - Joy Breaks Through

Last week, we saw how joy came down to shepherds—ordinary people going about their ordinary lives. But today's story is different. The Magi weren't passive recipients waiting in a field. They were active seekers on a journey that would cost them everything—time, treasure, comfort, and certainty.

Think about the last time you really wanted something. Maybe it was a job, a relationship, a dream home. How far were you willing to go? What obstacles were you willing to overcome? What price were you willing to pay?
The wise men teach us something profound: the greatest joy isn't found by accident or given to the passive. The greatest joy comes through seeking—and persisting until we find Jesus.

Text Reading: Matthew 2:1-12
Today, we continue our series "Joy to the World" by discovering how joy breaks through every obstacle when we seek Christ with everything we have.
