We’ve already asked about Mary and Joseph, how far was it to Bethlehem for them? 
What did it take to get them to a face-to-face encounter with God’s incarnate Son? 
And what will it take us this advent season? 
One of the farthest journeys was taken by the oddest characters of to be part of the story: Magi from the East. 
Why did God include them as part of Jesus’ greeting party? 
How does Matthew use Old Testament prophecy to help us understand their role … and ours?
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12
