Those who seek Him…..find Him! The wise men, most likely astrologers, had been searching the sky for a sign of His birth to seek out the King of the Jews to worship Him…..they found Him.
Knowledge is the beginning of wisdom.
His star in the East may refer to a star supernaturally introduced into the heavens, discernible only to students of the sky. The star reappeared to guide the wise men to where Christ was. The fact that it was called “His star” indicates that the wise men identified the star with the arrival of the King of the Jews.
Matthew 2:1-2
2 Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, 2 saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.”
“I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; A Star shall come out of Jacob; A Scepter shall rise out of Israel, And batter the brow of Moab, And destroy all the sons of tumult.
Numbers 24:17
The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising.
Isaiah 60:3
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.
Luke 2:11
