12/27 Matthew 2:7-11
7 Then Herod sent a private message to the wise men, asking them to come see him. At this meeting he learned the exact time when they first saw the star. 8 Then he told them, “Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!” 9 After this interview the wise men went their way. Once again the star appeared to them, guiding them to Bethlehem. It went ahead of them and stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were filled with joy! 11 They entered the house where the child and his mother, Mary, were, and they fell down before him and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasure chests and gave him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
WISE
The Wise Men discovered Jesus when they went to Bethlehem. A star from the Father guided them. They brought wonderful gifts to Him and recognized whom He was-God with us. When you come into the presence of the Lord you are no longer at the mercy of the world. Jesus gives us peace, value and direction in life.
