Star

Call them Magi, Astrologers or Kings but read with me what Matthew says about them.
Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, “WISE!” Wisdom cannot stop; Wisdom never leaves the school; Wisdom never finishes its education. The education that is finished was never begun. They were wise because of what they saw “His Star” not just any star but His Star.
Matthew 2:2 Where is he that is born King of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. No! Not just any star; we do not read “the star” or “a star” oh no there’s no definite article here but a personal pronoun “HIS.” Too many stop at the stars but not these wise men for there was one star they had their attention on and it was “HIS STAR.” I read where starting at $19.95 you could buy a star, they called it a timeless gift. They went on to tell their prospected buyers that they could see their star with a live online robotically controlled telescope and that they launch your stars name into space aboard an actual rocket.  Maybe you would like to buy some beautiful beach front property; like to have the sand against the bottoms of your feet? Well, here is your chance for only $395.00 you can own this beautiful property just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. These wise men not only saw His Star but followed His Star to where they found and saw the young baby Jesus
Matthew 2:9…. Lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. Could it be that these men were wise because they were following His Star? Whose star are you following? I hope its His Star for those that are wise are following His Star.  Daniel 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
