The Wise Men’s Christmas, Part 1

December 27, 2021

Do you seek Jesus wholeheartedly? The Wise Men were from the East, philosophers and astrologers in the employ of kings. Yet something in their study of the stars convinced them to travel far to seek the baby Jesus to worship as King of the Jews.

In this message, Stuart Briscoe helps us understand what may have motivated these men to embark on their search and challenges us to use them as inspiration not only for ourselves but in how we interact with the seekers of Jesus in our own lives.

The majority of people in America know that Christmas originally had something to do with Christ coming into the world. That does not mean they understand why Christ came, however. But Scripture is perfectly clear on the issue: “Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” (1 Timothy 1:15).
