The magi

The debate about the star in the East has had Scholars in a quandary since the birth of Christ.

 

Where were the wise men from?  Did there really follow a star all the way to the birth of Christ?

 

Did they arrive to the stable moments after the birth or up to two years later?

 

Why did the wise men (if so wise and so passionate about the Christ child) happen by way of Herod to “rat” on Jesus so to speak?

 

Herod then ordering the death of all two years old males, talk about paranoid and not comfortable with his “ innerself”

 

All these historical facts take you on the journey of a wise men documentary.

 

But after it is all said and done what was their mission?

Why did they leave their home, their duties to travel to far?

What was in their  hearts that told them to look forward the stars for answers?

 

My husband Chris has felt the Lord’s leading after seeing a number of shooting stars?

God uses nature to nudge us to follow him.

I laugh that God would never use this to get my attention because I wouldn’t notice. 

 

What I understand from the story is that these guys made their contribution how they believe God instructed them.

“In their generation”

I must do the same.
