The King Is Looking for Those Looking for Him | The Crown & The Cradle

In the Christmas story, the most unlikely visitors became the first worshippers. The Magi weren’t prophets, priests, or spiritual elites. They were outsiders. Seekers. Star-gazers. Question-askers. Spiritual explorers. Yet they were the ones who followed the light they had — and found Jesus. In this fourth message of our Advent series The Crown & The Cradle, Anthony Delaney unpacks what the journey of the Magi teaches us about how God still draws people today: 1️⃣ They Followed the Light They Had God often starts with a whisper — an ache, a question, a sense that “there must be more.” Like the Magi, many today are being quietly drawn toward Jesus, even if they don’t fit the religious mould. 2️⃣ They Let Go of What They Knew To follow the King, the wise men had to leave comfort, reputation, and certainty behind. God still calls us to lay down our assumptions, our self-made stories, and open ourselves to something bigger. 3️⃣ They Opened Their Treasures — and Went Home Different Their journey didn’t end in front of a baby — it started there. They bowed. They worshipped. They offered their best. And they went home by another road, because an encounter with Jesus always changes your direction. Maybe you’re watching because God is drawing you. Maybe you’ve felt the whisper. The tug. The hunger. The King is still looking for those who are looking for Him. 🔗 CONNECT WITH IVY CHURCH: Website – ivychurch.org Instagram – @myivychurch Facebook – @MyIvyChurch 🙏 Need prayer?
