After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the
star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the
place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
The magi were not Jews.
They were astrologers who appear “out of
nowhere” and were aware of the birth of a new king.
Think about it: God led these men to Jesus
using skills that were foreign to the Jewish mindset of the time.
As the Jewish high priest was oblivious to God
in his midst, three pagans were worshipping the Christ.
From His birth to His death on the cross, Jesus
came to earth to bring every people group to Himself.
He is doing the same today, so don’t be
surprised if God uses unusual people to get our attention.
Have a blessed day!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
