—Matthew 2:1-12

These scholars/astronomers/magicians traveled for up to 2 years because they saw a sign in the sky. They possibly knew little of Israel and her God. Yet they knew the star was important and sought to find its significance. My mother used to say to me, “You don’t know if you don’t ask,” because I had a tendency to assume I knew what her answer would be. In Matthew 7:7-11, Jesus encouraged His listeners to ask and to seek as children do with their fathers. The wise men, in spite of not knowing God, were an example for us of committing to seeking until an answer is given.
