Christmas – The Wise Men

Continuing with our study of Christmas, we find the Wise Men found and worshiped Jesus some time after His birth.

Reference Matthew 2:1-12

There are 3 groups of people to note and compare:

  • Herod displayed an open hatred and hostility toward Jesus.
  • The chief priests and the scribes were indifferent toward Jesus, all the while retaining their religious traditions and knowledge.
  • The wise men sought out Jesus and unexpectantly worshipped Him – even at great cost.  (their time, money, and social status)

Wouldn’t we all want to be more like the Wise Men?  I believe it it true – that wise men and women still seek the King!
