The Wise Men Follow the Star

The Wise Men Follow the Star

Foreign scholars travel a vast distance to honor a newborn king, guided by nothing but a star.

Birth of JesusNew Testament~4 BCE

leadership

Magi from the east arrive in Jerusalem asking where the king of the Jews has been born — they've been following his star. Their question terrifies King Herod, who secretly meets with them to learn when the star appeared. The chief priests and scribes point to Bethlehem based on the prophet Micah's ancient prediction. The wise men follow the star to the house where they find the child, and they worship him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

MatthewThe King Nobody Expected

Foreign scholars follow a star to find a newborn king, but the current king has other plans. What follows is a story of worship, political terror, and a refugee family — and it all happened before Jesus could walk.
