After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[a] from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 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.
Observation
Wise men came to pay Jesus homage after his birth. His coming to earth was well documented and received. His birth was rejoiced by them.
Application
We need to be prudent in who we can believe in. Not all "so-called" authority do things/ say things that in our benefit and like the Wise man they didn't go back to King Herod as requested as it would mean certain doom for them. Celebrate Christ being in our live as he has and will be a blessing for us.
Prayer
Dear LORD,
give me the wisdom of the Magi so that I too maybe able to discern right from wrong, good from evil like they have . Let me fully participate in your WORD.
AMEN.
