Where Is He

In the book of Matthew for everyone to see It asks a very clear question, Where Is He? Who are they talking about? Who could they possibly mean. I believe they're referring to Jesus Christ, the new born king There were three men from far away kingdoms known as The Magi They had come to acknowledge The Son of Man thus fulfilling the prophecy Guided by a bright star on the eastern horizon They travelled far to see the One that God said keep their eyes on Born in a manger to the carpenter Joseph and the Virgin Mary He was the Holy Spirit in the flesh, God's prodigy Laying in a bed of hay He was sent to show us The Way We've forgotten what the day Christmas truly represents It's not about gadgets, new clothes nor expensive presents It's not about I-pods, plasma TVs or the new X-box toy It's the day to celebrate the birth of our Savior the Deliverer of our Joy We can't seem to remember that Jesus was sent as a gift from God above To deliver us and redeem us with the sacrifice of His blood That was on the crown and the cross for all the people to see But the one unanswered question remains Where Is He? The Jews betrayed Him, the Romans flayed Him they kicked Him to the curb They could not discern that He was God in the flesh and His flesh was the Word They tried to corrupt Him, then interrupt Him when all He wanted was to show them God's Kind But the passion in Him had subsided because of their closed minds Where Is He, the one we now need the most? Where Is He, that manifestation of the Holy Ghost? Well He's not at Macy's, He's not at Target and you can't reach Him on the latest I phone Would you even greet Him or mistreat Him as the heir to the heavenly throne? If you were to see Him, could you even perceive Him as being the most important gift that Father God had sent to us, so that our hope and spirits would lift? Where Is He?, God's only begotten Son, the child in the manger, the new born king, the Anointed One? Many now believe Him, many now receive Him that miracle maker from so long ago Our Messiah, Our Salvation the One we all should know Where is He?
