No Wise men Christmas Eve

December 24, 2013
We read in Matthew that the Magi (wise men) arrive in Bethlehem and "on coming to the
house, they saw the child with his mother Mary and they bowed down and worshiped him."
HOUSE! What happened to the stable?

It took the wise men over a year to travel to the new king. Which explains later why the paranoid
King Herod ordered all children in Bethlehem age two or younger slain.

The wise men obey God and act on faith.

"And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod they returned by
another route," (Matthew 2:12)
