They saw evidence of what they heard about but when they thought they were close they lost their way.
Interactive

preparation involved
- isaiah 7:14
- suffering servant
- suffering servant
action

- their response was to come worship not come receive.
They brought gifts, not expectations or requests.

The magis trek didn’t start with something spectacular it started in research.
The had to have the knowledge of prophecy before the experience in order to interpret the event.
It started in the mundane, in the search for truth, the dissatisfaction with the answers they were getting elsewhere.
But even this God set up and was active in.
His punishment of His disobedient people resulted in the access to scripture by these people from the east.
research
vision from afar, distant
went astray
back on track up close and personal vision
interaction with Jesus
vision with instructions and warning
Keeps
- the vision and the process reveals God is King, sovereign
- the experience/vision points to the one we are meant to worship, be careful not to worship the experience.
You made a mistake but it wasn’t for nothing.
“It had to happen”
Their misstep revealed they couldn’t get there in their own wisdom.
They needed God to lead them in.
What didn’t they do?
Pray, they didn’t ask God for guidance they sought it from Men.
A king, advisors.
They looked for evidence where doubt lives, rather than where faith is made.
They were trusting in the created rather than the creator for the answer.
