Your Daily Bible Verse An Advent Invitation to Know Jesus (Matthew 2:11)
Today’s Bible Verse
“On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” — Matthew 2:11
Matthew 2:11 captures the heart of Christmas worship. The Magi traveled far, followed faithfully, and when they finally encountered Jesus, their response was surrender. They bowed, they worshiped, and they offered their treasures.
On Christmas Day, this verse reminds us that worship is more than words—it’s a posture of the heart. Jesus doesn’t ask for what we can afford to give; He invites us to offer what we value most. True worship begins when we recognize who He is and respond with our whole selves.
From all of us at Lifeaudio & Your Daily Bible Verse team: Merry Christmas!
