Have you ever questioned why the Magi's journey is such a vital part of the Christmas story? What drove these wise men to travel 2,000 miles to honor a child they had never met, and why did they bring the specific gifts they offered? In this message, Stephen Davey unpacks the historical and spiritual significance of the Magi, their journey, and their mission. He sheds light on the true nature of the star that led them, why they're called 'King-makers," and how these learned men from the East became some of the earliest worshippers of Jesus. In this episode, you'll discover that the Magi's story is not just about gifts and a journey. It's about a commitment that transcended political and spiritual barriers. Stephen explains how their actions were a declaration of Jesus' identity-=-His role as King, Priest, and the Sacrifice for all people. You'll also hear how the Magi, influenced by the teachings of Daniel, recognized and honored the Messiah long before most of Jesus' own people did. Stephen also addresses how modern Christians can understand and redeem some of the elements of the Christmas season that have origins outside the church. He reminds us that it's not about avoiding traditions with mixed histories, but rather how those elements can point us to the glory of Christ. Join us for a deeper understanding of this often-misunderstood part of the nativity story, and come away with a renewed perspective on how to worship and honor Jesus.
