Matthew 2: 1-12
The phrase βWise Men Still Seek Himβ is detailed from the Bible, The scriptures do not explain to us the extent of their understanding about Jesusβ identity, or the means by which they were led by the star.
All we know is that they recognized this star as the sign of the birth of the king of the Jews. This was sufficient motivation for them to follow it in order to worship this new king.
The wise men were the first Gentiles to visit Jesus Christ after his birth in Bethlehem.
Their search for Jesus and their response to finding him illustrate the essence of true wisdom, which every Christian should emulate.
The promise of scripture is that if we seek God, we will find Him, and when we find Him, we will find eternal life.
Unlike the wise men who sought the birthplace of the Savior, we do not have to undertake a lengthy journey to a foreign land in order to find God.
It is Godβs utmost desire that we should seek Him!
He promised that those who seek Him will find Him.
Jeremiah 29:13 tells usβ¦
