The Christmas story is much bigger than our personal traditions and celebrations. Matthew included the wise men in his Gospel not because they were present at Jesus' birth, but to show that this story extends beyond any single community or culture. These foreign kings represent everyone outside our normal circles who long to know God. The birth of Jesus wasn't just for the Jewish people - it was good news for the entire world. This Christmas, we're challenged to look beyond our usual story and include others who need to know there's a Christmas story for them, too.
