Astrologists from the orient went on the long journey through the desert. Did they discover the start which the seer Balaam (Numbers 24:17) spoke about? They were certain that their calculations were right and that the star declared a new reign in Israel.

Anyways, they went to the king’s palace. Herod was irritated and questioned the religious elite. They pointed towards a word in prophet Michah, according to whom, the saviour was born in Bethlehem. There, the  wise men found everything like it was foretold, worshipped Jesus like a king and gave him gold, frankincense and myrrh. 

The scientists didn’t just sit on their calculations but made the difficult way to search for Jesus and to find him. Accordingly their happiness was without limits. 

Christmas is going, seeking and finding. Have you found Jesus? 

Scripture of the week: Matthew 2:1-12
