Three Wise Men
It’s Christmas! Let us rejoice and remember when the Three Wise Men travelled to #Bethlehem from afar, guided by a star, to bring gifts to baby #Jesus as we continue that tradition to this day.
This story is from Matthew 2:9-11:
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
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, frankincense and myrrh.
Oh how joyful they must have felt when they met Mary with baby Jesus! I am delighted to share in that joy today when celebrating Christmas.
