December 23
The story is familiar. Magi come from the East, following a bright star. "On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary and they bowed down and worshiped him." (Matthew 2:11)
HOUSE! What happened to the stable? The wise men traveled better than a year to find the new king, which explains why the paranoid Herod orders all children in Bethlehem two years and younger be slain. Wise men obey God and act on faith. We should too.
"And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod they returned to their country by another route." (Matthew 2:12)
