Mt 2.1-12 Jan 4-26 - The arrival of the Magi

Send us Fan MailThis Gospel speaks about the days after the birth of Jesus.  What should have been a joyous event has a very dark layer behind it.  In this account we have the Magi coming to acknowledge the birth of a king.  On this note I encourage my listeners to check out the editions of this podcast published on December 29, 2024, and December 30, 2023, where I speak about the Wisemen and the role they played.  The wisemen were looking for the infant who would be king of the Jews.  Even though the Star that was guiding them was according to tradition, a testimony that something very special was happening, there  is no indication that they actually thought or knew that they were some of the first witnesses  to recognize the birth of the Messiah.Complete our 1 Minute Survey
