In the scriptures it doesn’t say how many wise men followed the star to find Jesus. There are many songs that speak of the Three Kings, and most Nativities have three wise men in them. So for the next three days I will share with you what I have learned from the story of the wise men.
In Matthew 2:9-11 it says, “…and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.”
In this scripture it doesn’t say that Jesus was a baby. It says that he was a young child. Not only did the wise men see the new star, a sign that they had been watching for, but they diligently followed it until they found Jesus. Their travel must have taken a long time. Are we that diligent in staying close to the Lord and following the signs He gives to us through His prophets?
