Read Matthew 2:1-2. Behold, wise men from the east came to - TopicsExpress

Read Matthew 2:1-2. Behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him. Matthew 2:1B-2 Today is the ninth day of Christmas, and its finally time to turn our attention toward those wise men who are rounding the bend and heading for home. One of my favorite Christmas carols as a kid was We Three Kings of Orient Are. It always puzzled me that we never sang it in church until I later realized the first line has three errors. First, they werent kings; they were scholars and astrologers who advised kings. Second, they werent from the Orient; they probably came from Persia, Babylon, or Arabia. And third, Matthew doesnt tell us there were three. He says there were three gifts, but the number of wise men is unknown. So thats a problem with the figures for my Nativity set. There are three of them and they are all wearing crowns. Oh, well ... The intriguing thing about the wise men is that they followed a star, and somehow they knew that star was indicating the birth of a great king of the Jews. Perhaps God left them a hint through the great Jewish civil leader Daniel, and his friends Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who made a huge impact on the Babylonian and Persian empires (see the book of Daniel in the Old Testament). Perhaps it had something to do with a record Daniel left in the official government records of Babylon and Persia (see Daniel 2:44-45). But, however the wise men came to know a king had been born of the Jews, the wise men doggedly followed that star as God slowly guided them to His perfect Light. God guides us today too. Having revealed our Savior through His Word, Holy Baptism, and the Sacrament of the Altar, God continues to use His means of grace to guide us through our lifes journey. That is one of the reasons weekly worship is so vitally important for us. God guides us and protects us from the distractions of this world, and keeps us in the true faith until we fall down and worship before Him in heaven. In the meantime, as we continue on our journey, may God shine through us and lead many people through the long night of this sinful world to our heavenly home
