Christmas Star pt2

The Christmas Star leads everybody to worship the saviour of the world.

When you think of wise people that are older than you might come to mind. Maybe you think of some really smart people that know algebra and have really big vocabulary.

Well the world may say who is wise but it is ultimately God who says wisdom comes from the fear of the Lord, in Proverbs 1:7

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.

The wise read and believed Gods word.

Matthew 2:1–3 ESV

1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” 3 When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him;

They knew Gods word and believed it as truth.

They trusted Gods word rather than mans.

Matthew 2:12 ESV

Matthew 2:2 ESV

2 saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

The wise humbled themselves in worship of Jesus.

Matthew 2:11 ESV

11 And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.
