Come And Worship Him

If Jesus is born as king of the Jews, why is it that a group of pagan magicians and astrologers seem to know more about what is going on in Bethlehem than God’s own people do?  In writing his gospel, Matthew highlights the arrival of the Magi from the east who were seeking the infant Jesus in order to worship Him. In doing so, he emphasises again the reality that Jesus has come for all people who seek Him; or as the apostle Paul put it, “This promise is not only for you and your children, but also for those who are far off  whom God will call.” (Acts 2:39)
