Deep dives
The Search for the King
The podcast episode explores the story of the three wise men searching for the baby Jesus. These educated and influential men studied the stars and followed a phenomenon in the sky that led them to Jerusalem. However, when they met with King Herod and inquired about the location of the king, they were directed to Bethlehem. This unexpected location highlighted the idea that Jesus can be found in unlikely places. The episode encourages listeners to ask questions and explore where they may find Jesus in their own lives, even if it means deviating from their initial expectations.
Finding God in Unlikely Places
The podcast emphasizes that God often reveals himself in unexpected and out-of-the-way locations. Just as the wise men found Jesus in a humble barn in Bethlehem, the episode suggests that people can encounter God in ordinary and everyday moments. It challenges the idea that one must go to a specific place or perform certain rituals to connect with God. Instead, it encourages individuals to be open to encountering God in unexpected circumstances, such as during daily routines or personal struggles.
The Already Available King
The podcast highlights that Jesus is the already available king who meets people where they are. It emphasizes that individuals don't need to go on a grand pilgrimage or attend elaborate gatherings to find Jesus. Rather, they can have an encounter with him in their own living rooms or everyday circumstances. The episode emphasizes that Jesus is present in the midst of pain, doubt, and uncertainty, and is willing to meet people wherever they are on their spiritual journey. It concludes by encouraging listeners to receive the forgiveness and love that Jesus offers, reminding them that this is the true gift of Christmas.
Are you asking for the first time, who is this Jesus? Or maybe you've followed him for years but a series of somethings has caused you to doubt or lose faith and you are asking, Jesus- where are you? Jesus is everything you need, the answer to every question, the solution to everything you are seeking out, the already available King.
