Station 6 - The Wisemen

Some time later there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. They asked,

“Where is the baby who was born King of the Jews? We have seen his star in the east and have come to worship him.”

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled. He sent the wise men to Bethlehem and said,

“Go and search diligently for the young child; and when you have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.”

When they heard the king, they departed and the star, which they saw in the east, went before them until it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with great joy. The wise men saw the child and they worshipped him. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh and presented them to him.

Each of them gave Jesus a special gift, and that is why we give gifts at Christmas. They went home even wiser men, realizing that precious things are worth far more than money and are not always found in the richest places. They realized that they should offer their wealth to Jesus, the Son of God, who was born into poverty and was a friend of poor and needy people.

Thank you spending time with us celebrating God’s gift to us all. We would love for you to worship with us on Sunday mornings at 10:00am. For any questions, please call 886-2317.

Merry Christmas!
