The Three Wise Men

And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh - Matthew 2:11.

            The three wise men came in search of Jesus who was born in Bethlehem in the days of king Herod when they saw the star in the east. After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 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"- Matthew 2:1-2. They travelled far and followed the star to see Jesus.

        The star led the wise men to the place where the Jesus was born and they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. Behold, the star which they had seen 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 exceedingly great joy - Mathew 2:9,10.

             The three wise men worshipped Jesus and presented gold, frankincense and myrrh to Him. 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 - Matthew 2:11. Let us seek and find God like the three wise men by giving our time, talent and treasures to Him. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart - Jeremiah 29:13.                                                                

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help us to seek You and find You with all our heart. Lead us and guide us. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
