- The wise men made Herod aware of Christ's birth. They came seeking Him, that made Herod aware of his birth.
- His priests confirmed a birth in Bethlehem, or at least that was what was written, the prophecy.
- Herod enquires diligently, the wise men. He wants to know when the star first appeared. He hadn't been paying any attention, he didn't see the sign. Many of us are looking down at the humdrum of life in front of us. Are we watching for the signs? Are we seeking? Would we know if something happened, if a sign were to be given today?
Thankfully we can look to a living prophet today along with his apostles to help us see signs happening in our day.
There are many signs, prophecies fulfilled with regards to the Second Coming of our Savior.... I think much of the world today is how Herod was, unaware of what was going on around him, because he wasn't looking. Looking and seeking take the element of faith.
- Don't know how many wise men there were.
- They didn't find Christ in a manger, they found him at home. He wasn't a baby, he was a young child.
