Who was looking for Jesus at His first coming? It's interesting to note briefly tonight the state of readiness that was present when the miracle came 2,000 years ago! I like to call this Characters of Christmas. You see, God had a cast of characters, 17 different ones in 4 chapters out of 250 in the New Testament.
Okay: 4 chapters - Mt. 1-2 and Lk. 1-2, and, 17 characters who could be listed as:
6 saints Some shepherds 3 sinners A prophet A host of angels A bunch of stuffed robes (religious leaders) Some Magi Gabriel And, the Savior of the world!
So which ones were looking for Jesus? Let's just zero in on a few of these folks and try to heed what God is trying to tell us.
