—Matthew 2:1-12
by: Cheri Appel.
In one small passage, the Magi set a big example! Believing the star was a sign from God, they left home, willingly traveling that long arduous journey. Depending completely on God, they risked their lives in the king’s palace. As Gentiles they explained the gospel to a Jewish court! They worshiped and honored Jesus with expensive Eastern gifts. Believing their dreamt warning, they traveled home a different way, avoiding Herod. As Christians, we should note and follow these models. Where is the self-denial and diligence in our lives with Christ? What pain does our faith cost? How do our life’s travels reflect our faith in Him?
