Sadly, instead of looking at the Bible, the church has looked to Christmas songs and Christmas cards for its Christmas theology. Many believe three kings came from the East to worship Jesus. That is not true. Many thank those men who came from the East followed a star all the way to Jerusalem. That is not true. Many also believe that the star led them to the stable where Jesus was born and placed in a manger. That is not true. If you want the true story, join us for this podcast where we will go beyond the reasoning of man to the revelation of God.
One of the classic Christmas songs asks a probing question: "What gift can we give to a little boy, a little boy born in a manger? What gift can we bring him? What gift can we give to a little boy king?" Unfortunately, that Christmas song doesn’t give us the full answer. Oh sure, it talks about love and brotherhood, peace and good will toward men; and those are good gifts; but it falls short of what we can actually give to the little boy king. What gift can we give to Jesus? I believe we can find the answer to that question in the story of the Wise men in Matthew chapter 2.
