Topic - THE WISE MEN ARRIVE (A KING IS BORN)
Bible Text - 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
A King is born and the star shone brighter amongst all the stars in the Heavens. Which attracted men from the east. Wealthy men who anticipated the birth of a new King as perceived in their spirits. They journeyed down by simply following a bright star. Following Christ Jesus started at his birth, yes! It looks foolish to some but these wise men followed still. So is everyone that believes in Jesus Christ.
They were called wise men because they knew how to walk with the LORD, and from signs and wonders shown to them. They didn't murmur or drag feets but mounted up and came looking for the wonderful wonder that brightens the world. All the way from the east CHRIST was seen and today everywhere in the world He is know to the hearts of wise men who truly believes.
The wise men, or Magi, brought three gifts to Jesus and they were kings from the East. They saw a star, realized it meant that the King of kings had been born, and followed it to Jesus’ house. There they presented him with gold, incense and myrrh.
The fact that kings from a distant land knew who Jesus was and where he could be found shows us that God’s hand was at work in every part of the Christmas story. For that, we can praise him.
