Where are you going?

In the Christmas story those who sought Christ came from very different locations, from near and far. The shepherds came from down the road in the shepherds' fields. The wise men journeyed from another country. But the most important thing was not from whence they came but where they were going. They were all intent in finding Jesus and knowing the truth about him. Whether we come from poor circumstances or with the proverbial silver spoon in the mouth is beside the point. What matters is where we are aiming in life. We can all find in Jesus Christ the perfect form of whatever truth we possess - as long as we keep right on searching to the end of the road.
