Matthew 2:1-2 (LSB) 1 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, 2 \u201cWhere is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Have we ever pondered the awe and power of the statement made in these 2 verses?<\/p>\n

Magi, a class of wise men specializing in astronomy, astrology, and natural science, tracked an unusual star, an astronomical event, and followed it to Bethlehem so they could worship and pay homage to Christ, the newborn King.<\/p>\n

We all hear the story of Jesus being born repeatedly. But do we ever allow the enormity of some of these corresponding events to really sink in?<\/p>\n

These men were not local to Judea. They came from very far away, likely taking weeks or months to travel and find this baby they were looking for.<\/p>\n

And they were led there by a star!<\/p>\n

As they arrived in Judea, they sought King Herod for the purpose of gathering more information on this child they wanted to worship.<\/p>\n

As they spoke with the king, they came to understand that Herod wanted to also “worship” Jesus.<\/p>\n

And not long after they had located Jesus, fallen prostrate before Him and bestowed gifts upon Him, they were warned in a dream not to disclose His location, and not to return home the same way they had come due to Herod’s plot to kill Him.<\/p>\n

These comparably “minor” incidents are incredibly powerful. But they seem to be overlooked at times as we are in awe of the birth of Christ.<\/p>\n

God’s word is full of these kinds of incredible “smaller miracles”. And if we take the time, we will discover more of them than we realize existed.<\/p>\n

And by digging deeper into them, our faith will grow and flourish as we witness the hand of God playing out in these events.<\/p>\n
