WISE MEN STILL SEEK HIM

Visitors from the East

Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the reign of King Herod. About that time some wise men from eastern lands arrived in Jerusalem, asking, 2 “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”


We have called them Magi … Three Kings … Royal Astrologers … Wise Men. What we call them is not the important part of their story. The important part is that they sought the “… newborn king of the Jews…”.

We don’t have to travel great distances, follow special stars or avoid the trickery of evil political leaders (for the most part) to find Jesus. Christian churches are in almost every neighborhood. Christian broadcasting is available by satellite, cable, TV, internet or radio. Bookstore shelves include writings by various Christian authors and the holy scriptures … The Bible … remains the best seller.

If you seek Jesus … wise men, women and children still do … the sources are all around you. “Seek first … the kingdom of heaven.”
