Summary: As we enter the Advent season, we'll be taking a look at the events surrounding Jesus' birth and connecting them back to our lives today. This week, Pastor Joe explains how the dangerous, 1,000-plus mile journey to Bethlehem the magi took was only part of what made their story remarkable. While the magi were considered amongst the wisest men of their day - similar to the world's most esteemed academics - they recognized that they didn't know everything. They knew there were gaps in their understanding of their world, and they went in search of answers. They determined that a star would guide them close to a soon-to-be-born Jewish king but were also wise enough to turn to holy scripture (as we all must do) to ultimately find Jesus. And once they did, a remarkable thing occurred: they saw Jesus for who he was - not simply a poor family's baby, but the lord of all creation - and fell down and worshiped him as king.
