Wise Men Still Seek Him

We’re moving forward in the timeline now, past the shepherds and the immediate birth, to a group that traveled a long way to find the Christ-child: the Wise Men, or the Magi.

These men weren't Jews. They were likely astrologers or scholars from the East, representing the first time the light of Christ was seen and pursued by the Gentile world. They beautifully prove that the Gospel is for everyone, regardless of where they come from or what they believe.

Their motivation is captured in their simple, powerful question upon arriving in Jerusalem (Matthew 2:2, KJV): "Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him."
