The Christmas Story: Understanding the Magi

This Christmas Joey looks at the Magi of the Christmas story as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. They were not Kings as the songs say, they were pagan sorcerers, astronomers and astrologists. However they were seekers of truth. Joey parallels the lives of the Magi with that of the tyrannical king Herod and the Scribes and Pharisees who knew where the christ would be born but missed it. We are to be a people who seek truth and not become so busy with our own plans that we miss out on the fellowship of God and the people around us.
