The Weight of Wonder: Love
Matthew 2:1-12
The wise men (magi) from the east (probably Babylon) were a class of priests, scholars, astronomers, astrologers, and advisors to the nobility. Their quest was to seek further knowledge and to express their devotion in worship. Their commitment to mind and heart teaches us to:
Love God
Believing in the one true God and His goodness
Going in obedience to God’s directing
Risking safety and comfort
Love Truth
Remembering the prophetic word of God
Following wherever truth leads
Compromising nothing
Love Wonder
Being astounded
Rejoicing exceedingly in signs of God’s work
Falling down (whole-hearted submission) in worship
Fulfilling joy through giving
