Text: Matt. 2:1-12

How many of you want to spend Christmas back home?

These wise men (Maji) have their own family they came from the East-Persia. They came to seek the King of kings.

Luke 2:4-17

Bethlehem-means the House of Bread
Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.

The star moved as a guide, from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. The star stood over the place where the child was and pointed at the very house where the child was.

The star it could be the “Shekinah Glory” Shekinah is the presence of God or the Glory of God. The Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by night. He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.

The gifts o the Maji or wise men

Gold is the gift for a king, Jesus is our King. Revelation 19: 11-16
Frankincense is the gift for a High Priest. Hebrew 5:1-10
Myrrh is the gift for who is about to die. Luke 42-47

Jesus was born to die for us, when Jesus was born he was thinking about you.

When He comes, we will not spend Christmas away from home.
