The story of the wise men in Matthew 2 presents us with a crucial question: Who is truly ruling your life? These historical figures weren't Jewish, yet they traveled hundreds of miles following a star to find the newborn King. Their journey reveals that wise people are seekers who actively pursue God. When they found Jesus, they responded with worship and overwhelming joy, unlike King Herod who felt threatened by the true King. The wise men's encounter was transforming - they bowed in worship, received divine guidance, and went home by a different route. Their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh acknowledged Jesus as King, God, and crucified Savior, representing the complete picture of who Christ is.
