We Have Seen His Star: The Story of the Wise Men and the Angelic Sign of Christ’s Reign

Show Notes

Summary:
The story of the wise men who brought gifts to Jesus as a child has been altered by song and lore. They’ve been called three kings and are often depicted as bowing before the infant Jesus in the manger. While we will correct the record with the Scriptures of what took place, the star they followed to find the Christ child is fascinating. What exactly was “His star”?

Takeaway:
There is more to the story of the wise men worshipping Jesus than meets the eye. There is something very special about His star shining in the east. This star was an angelic sign from God to signify many things beyond the birth of Christ. It foretells Him reigning over the nations of the earth, and in this story, we see a deep connection between Jesus and the Angel of the Lord.
