They knew His path – v4



The Magi, the travelers
these ancient astrologers
these students of the stars
they knew Christ had come
the epiphany for them
long before their journey
when they saw His star’s rising.

This was their moment of epiphany
for the Magi, the wise men
because they knew Christ’s path
the way of the Messiah
before they traveled
bringing gifts for infant Jesus
that would foreshadow His life.
