Introduction
The title of our teaching this morning is:
I.
A Christmas Message
Matt 2:1,11
Matthew 2:11 (NKJV)
11 And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him.
And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
A Christmas Message - “[Wise men] worshipped him … and presented unto him gifts”
Christmas cards are not always Scriptural!
They often show three kings; the Bible tells us they were Wise Men or astrologers.
They depict three kings; we are only told they presented three kinds of gifts.
Scripture tells us that the end of their search was the “house” where “the young child was.”Their guiding sign is truthfully portrayed on our Christmas cards and friezes:
they followed a star.
In those days men had no compasses or radar.
They did not follow the Pole Star or Southern Cross like sailors; they had God’s special star to guide them,
a new star that heralded the birth of an important person.
Twentieth-century scientists now believe that such a star appeared in the heavens at the very time indicated by Scripture.The goal of their search is also indicated on our cards and other Christmas decorations—
the Lord Jesus Christ, Immanuel, God-with-us.
They came not to worship Mary.
Joseph was only an indication of our Lord’s humanity as well as divinity (the result of the Virgin Birth).
Their real goal was Jesus Himself.
Caesar “came, saw and conquered.”
These wise men came, saw, worshiped,
gave and then returned with the good news.
There are two important sets of questions to ask ourselves regarding the story of the Wise Men.
One set has to do with the Wise Men themselves;
the other is concerned with the Savior whom they sought.
II.
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WISE MEN
Who Were They?
Some call them “Magi.”
The term is misleading in that it makes us think of magicians!
They were astrologers.
(Today we would refer to them as astronomers—students of the heavenly bodies, rather than sooth-sayers, fortune-tellers, writers of horoscopes.)
They were philosophers and interpreters of dreams.
Theirs was an honorable profession.
Where Did They Come From?
The Bible tells us that they came from the “east.”
The Old Testament speaks of “wise men of Babylon.”
