How did the Magi learn that there would be a Messiah in Israel? Because of a seemingly-unconnected tragedy in Israel's history, six hundred years earlier! History is not just a series of events and battles, philosophies and cultures - rather, it is the unfolding of God's providential plan for the salvation of souls and the restoration of all things in Christ. What role do you and I play in this majestic plan? We ARE part of a quest, and can cooperate with His designs - because history is truly His story!
