Peace... When Following God Leads You to a Barn

This message is part of our series, "The Invasion of Peace". As you know, from Jesus’ biography, there were some “wisemen” who appear in the Christmas story. The problem is, we don’t know their names, where they came from, or what happened to them after they met and worshipped Jesus. Interestingly, these Magi didn’t even worship the God of Israel, and yet they were the ones open to hearing about the Messiah. The back story on what happened is fascinating! You’d think that after a dangerous, expensive journey that took months, they’d be disappointed at finding Jesus in what would seem to be a very unspectacular place. But their enthusiasm—and connection with God—doesn’t seem to at all be affected! We find God is some very unusual places. We just have to be open—and wise enough—to see and know Him.
