The Wisemen

1. Demonstrated Incredible Diligence to Seek Jesus Matthew 2:1 1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem.

Consider: Daniel… Magi... Timeframe…

Diligence to Seek Jesus… Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Jeremiah 29:13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

2. Received Incredible Guidance to Find Jesus Matthew 2:2-10 2 and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him." 3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Christ was to be born. 5 "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written: 6 "'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for out of you will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel.'"

2. Received Incredible Guidance to Find Jesus 7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him." 9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.

Consider: Star… Herod… Jewish Leaders…

John 8:12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

3. Transformed by an Incredible Encounter with Jesus Matthew 2:11-12 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

Consider: Worship… Gifts…

Gift of GOLD - Christ’s Deity

Gift of INCENSE - Christ’s Purity

Gift of MYRRH - Christ’s Death

Consider: Worship… Gifts… New Direction…

4. Experience the Joys of Christmas in JESUS… John 1:12 Yet to all who received him [Jesus], to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--

New Life in Jesus… Forgiveness for your Past! Purpose for your Present! Assurance for your Future!
