It is important to note that when the wise men were seeking the one born king of the Jews they went to the right place but to the wrong people. Those who are seeking the one born king of the Jews and King of Kings, we must be careful to whom we seek counsel. You can get yourself in trouble going to the right place but to the wrong people.

First, allow me to speak on the right Right Place. If you were looking for the one that was going to be born King of the Jews, the best place and the right place to start looking is Jerusalem. Those two things went together. This city was known as The CITY OF DAVID. David established Jerusalem as the seat of the Jews’ political power. It was there that David brought the Ark of the Covenant representing God presents with God’s people. It was there that the King established his throne among God’s people. Jerusalem was the brains where all political decisions were being made. However, David was not the first to have a great experience in Jerusalem. Perhaps I need to give you a quick Biblical Geographic Lesson. Jerusalem was built on two mountains, Mount Zion and Mount Moriah. Abraham was told to take his son, his only son Isaac up on Mount Moriah. In essence, the final exam for Father Abraham was in Jerusalem.

Jerusalem was not only the center of the political power it was also known as the Holy City, and the City of God. Three Religions believe that major and significant events of their faith occurred in Jerusalem; Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Jerusalem is significant to the Jews because it is the place of the temple. There were and are many synagogues but only one temple and that temple is to be located in Jerusalem, representing the earthly meeting spot for God and his people. David writes about Jerusalem in Psalms 122, "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD. Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together:" So if you are looking for the one born to be the King of the Jews, Jerusalem is the Right Place. This is exactly what the wise men did. They came seeking the King of the Jews and they started their search in Jerusalem the Right place.
