    The Horoscope Of Jesus

    Contributed by David Smith on Jan 8, 2007

    What must Mary have thought when she first opened the door and found a group of Iranian astrologers, there to celebrate the birth of her son? These characters seem so inappropriate in the Christmas narrative, but maybe that’s the point?

    The Xmas season is over! We’ve wished each other a Merry Xmas AND a Happy New Year, and now the festive season is PAST. The holidays (for most of us) are over. The time for singing carols and wishing peace and goodwill to all is finished. The presents have been handed out. The cards have all been ...read more

    Follow In the Wisemen’s Footsteps 1) Confident of the way to heaven 2) Humble in your approach to heaven

    Did you hear the one about had the wisemen been wisewomen? They would have stopped for directions sooner allowing them to arrive in time to sweep the barn, make a casserole, and help deliver the baby. They would have also brought practical gifts! Seriously though, the Magi (as Scripture calls ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at the Magi.

    I read this humors account of the Wise Men (obviously written by a woman): If it had been ‘Wise Women’ instead of ‘Wise Men’, they would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts from Baby’s-R-Us, including ...read more

    Waiting On God's Timing

    God’s timing is not always our timing, but it is always right. Here’s how to wait on Him.

    Matthew 2:1-23 Luke 2:21-40 2 Peter 3:8-9 1 Samuel 13:5-14 Waiting on God’s Timing I think that almost every Christmas pageant, Christmas card and manger scene that you see has the wise men showing up at the stable. Even the movie, “the Nativity Story” has them at the stable. It’s not wrong to ...read more

    The Magi - their openness and responsiveness to God’s leading is an example for us today.

    Christmas is a wonderful time of year, don’t you think? The lights, the songs, the decorations… they all seem to add so much. And there are a lot of traditions and a lot of other things that have become a part of the whole Christmas experience. And there’s always such a build-up toward the big day, ...read more

    The three gifts of the Magi symbolically represent gifts that we too can bring our Lord.

    “What Gifts Do You Bring Him?” Matthew 2: 1 – 12 Giving and Receiving What do you enjoy more, giving gifts or receiving? I know that I was very excited to give Alisha some of her Christmas gifts this year. There were at least a couple of BIG surprises for her! And maybe we enjoy giving because we ...read more

    The wise men meet the sneaky king

    At last, our wise men show up. Although our manger scenes usually include them, we can see from this passage they probably don’t arrive until Jesus is several months old. They meet him, Mary and Joseph in a house in Bethlehem and give their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Then, because ...read more

    The reactions of Herod, the religious leaders, and the Magi to the birth of Jesus mirror people’s responses to Jesus today.

    How “Wise” Are You? True and False Questions about the Wise Men Questions 1. The wise men arrived in Judea after Jesus had been born. 2. The Bible says that there were three wise men. 3.

    The Wise Wife

    At our Christmas Eve service each year I tell a silly story which deals with an aspect of the Christmas story. This one has to do with the wisemen.

    There are lots of wisemen legends that have been perpetuated over the years. For example, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that three kings visited Jesus bearing gifts. It’s just not there! First of all, they were “magi” or “wisemen” – perhaps astrology scholars – not kings – at least in the ...read more

    Jesus has come, the Light that was promised for centuries. His gospel glows in the darkness of human sin and cannot be extinguished.

    The Gospel Glows in the Dark Isaiah 60:1-6 Matthew 2:1-12 January 1, 2006 I remember that afternoon very clearly.

     | 2,230 views

    Who really cares about us? Not this world’s Herods, for fear lashes out destructively. We find care in those who, like the wise men, believe in us and give gifts for the future; and who, like Joseph, sacrifice for us. Epiphany at National Baptist Memor
