Yes, we’ve all heard a lot about the Wise Men who found Jesus. They had seen a special star, and knew by their studies that a great Jewish King and Deliverer would be born according to this sign. They traveled from the East to Jerusalem, and began to ask where this child who was born “King of the Jews” was (Matthew 3). Scholars believe that these wise men came from modern day Iraq which was at one time called Persia. The Prophet Daniel most of his life there, and was considered the wisest of the wise men. So, if these men came from Persia, they traveled about 1000 miles, which was a 4 month journey at that time. The star they followed gleaning info from ancient prophecies must have totally convinced them to travel that far. They also brought costly gifts to this child-king, which enabled his family to travel when needed to keep baby Jesus safe. Here is my point: If the smartest men on the face of the earth at the time saw the signs and began a long, uncomfortable journey to find the King, what are we doing? Will we settle down, watch cleverly devised fables all day, and ignore our Bibles and forget to pray? Will you join the true wise men and women of our day and give up all to find the true King? Come on!!
