Same story as last week. Only this time, we are not looking so much at Herod's perspective but watching the journey of the magi. These wisemen were perceptive, far-seeing visionaries who were on a mission. Notice these truths about these Christmas travelers: 1) they were prepared, 2) they had a goal, and 3) they even knew who could potentially help them to accomplish their mission.  What they didn't know is that every step of the journey - they were caught in a trap. Notice their interruption: they were warned in a dream. All of them. It interrupted their sleep. Life is like that. What do you do when life takes a frightening turn? Trust the Light (where God illuminates - trust Him); Stay on the way (be patient but be persistent); Follow the nudge (when God tugs at your heart, jump all in - even if you don't know where the journey will end).
